So, I said to my wife, I’m losing my eyebrows.

You see, very few hairs left defining where my

eyebrows used to be. Don’t you think I’d look

younger if I had eyebrows again? I saw a guy on

YouTube who said, Losing your eyebrows is the

number one thing that makes people look old.

He was selling a remedy. This isn’t the first time

I’ve been offered a solution, my hairdresser

handed me the phone number of a woman who

tattoos eyebrows back on. Well, hang on a sec,

I told her, that sounds permanent and possibly

weird looking. Don’t worry, she assured me,

they eventually fade and disappear. But the guy

on YouTube said, losing your eyebrows is the biggest

giveaway. Come to think of it, this keeps me away

from the mirror every day and truly, what else could I

be missing without a thorough scan? I can hardly

look at myself, but like it or not, this is just the way it is.

She put her book down, looked up at me and said,

your eyebrows are not what bother me.
