Shades of Gray
I found a gray hair today. I was wearing my hair in Pippi-style pigtails which I guess exposed some previously hidden hairs. It's only the third gray hair I've ever found. The first a hairdresser found while cutting my hair when I was about twelve years old. I know I was probably a stressed-out twelve year old, but thank goodness that solitary hair wasn't a sign of anything to come. I discovered my second gray hair during an exam in my second year of veterinary school. I must have spent about 15 minutes of the exam marvelling at it. You know what's so impressive about these gray hairs? They're long! The one I found today is ~15 inches long. Given an average growth rate of about a half inch per month, that means this little gray hair has been growing for over two and a half years. How is it that now's the first time I'm seeing it?? And it's not like just the last little bit is gray - the whole thing is completely translucent. Turns out that gray hairs, or at least my gray hairs, aren't actually gray... they're clear. Odd.

Let me start out by first stating that the pleasure derived in viewing attractive girls wearing Pippi-style pigtails should never be understated. I am a self proclaimed aficionado.
Now that the perversity section of my "comment" is dispensed with I will continue on to say that I have a decent crop of gray hairs myself. Only I don’t marvel so much as scorn them. I think gray hairs should be done away with by now, no? I mean with the advances in technology (similar to pigtails, this topic makes me smile widely) one would think that gray translucent hairs would be pigmentized(should be a word) from existence. I mean really… we can grow ears on the back of mice but we can’t permanently pigmentize(I already told you… it should be, therefore I use it freely) grays? Wtf Roche, Astra Zeneca, et al, you call yourselves drug dealers?! Oh, wait… that’s what I call you. Ok, back to perversity…
In conclusion my crop of grays only makes me hotter, or so I’ve been told. So, bring it on grayness, I laugh at you… “wholeheartedly” (to quote a new friend).
