Well, its not as bad as it sounds... ...they were doing a head shaving event for a cancer support group. The call for volunteers went out a week before the event. I asked about the short notice, because with about three weeks, I could have grown enough hair to participate. They said that they have done these events before, and a week is about the right amount of time. If you give people too long to think about it, some tend to back out. The event was fun to watch anyway...
