The ride back from Citi Field was gloomy after the Mets’ bullpen blew yet another save. To silence the silence, I turned on the radio just as a commercial started for Combe’s Just for Men Control GX.
“I’ve been meaning to try that stuff for nearly a year,” I muttered to my fellow Mets fan.
“Works great! I use it,” he replied.
I laughed out loud in the darkness. My 60-something friend is bald. I thought he was joking. When he didn’t reply, I made a note to check out his pate when he exited the car and, sure enough, the old geezer has a nice brown ring of hair! Sort of like an ostrich egg squeezed into a robin’s nest.
Anyway, his conviction convinced me to purchase Control GX and, I was thrilled with the results. The wife? After 30+ years of marriage, she really doesn’t give a damn what I do anymore. But outside the home, the comments were outstanding!
“Tom, you look 10 years younger!” said one Gen X online manager, who didn’t realize I had used Control GX for the first time that morning. The stuff works and is so easy to use, too; the proverbial win-win.
The wins shouldn’t be clouded by misinterpreting a sketchy study that was recently published in the International Journal of Cancer, which found a possible association between traditional hair dyes and straighteners and breast cancer risks.
“It is a fundamental principle of epidemiology that association is not the same as causation,” noted Linda Loretz, PhD, chief toxicologist, Personal Care Product Council. “One does not necessarily lead to the other.”
Unfortunately, science always falls victim to sensationalism, especially in a country where students and the general public lag behind their peers in East Asia and Europe. But hey, it’s a new year! Maybe this is the year that kids, their parents and politicians put down their iPhones, cut back on social media and focus on scientific facts.
Then again, probably not, but I am always hopeful. After all, I am a Mets fan!
