Retirement from Norwood jokes

From today, I’ve officially retired from Norwood jokes or jokes about embarrassing hair loss experiences. I’m at the age where I should be getting my life together, so I no longer have any time to compile any more long winded Norwood-esqe experiences.

I was just writing my last one yesterday (about a hair-loss rap group called N.W.A. - Norwoodz With Attitude) when I just couldn't be bothered to finish it. I have loads of stories in the vaults (or the hard drive) that crack me up. Perhaps if I die of hair loss, they'll raid my computer and release some posthumous Norwood stories:-

Including one - where on Halloween, I went to a Halloween party dressed as a Norwood scale, or about the time where I was seen dabbing my Minoxidil at famous venues around the world, whilst thrusting my hairy legs in the air like Rumplestiltskin.

Infact, I wrote a classic, the tag being I 'kept cropping up' in the background at famous historic events:-

Like at President Kennedy's shooting at the Dealey Plaza - I was seen in the background running past the grassy knoll with a confused dumb face, frantcially dabbing Minoxidil 5% onto my vertex, seconds before he got shot.

When Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin, I was seen through the window running past in the background dabbing my Minoxidil.

And when the Berlin Wall came down, again, I was spotted in the background running away with a confused face, frantically dabbing minoxidil whilst bending my knees in the air.

And when Princess Diana tragically died - I just happened to be seen running above the Paris Bridge at the time of impact, unaware, with a dumb lost expression, vigorously dabbing Minoxidil onto my head.

I 'just happened to be there' each time.

Anyway, I’m 25 and need to get my life back on track. Compiling these stories is getting me sweet no where and I get no income from writing them. They wrote themselves anyway.

I’m going to hand over the reins of comedic Norwood/hair loss experiences to someone else. Maybe one day someone will have equipment to make a hair loss film that might include some of the Horse-shoe pattern battles, or jiving around Minoxidil bottles.

But, until then, I’m done with Norwood jokes from now on.

I think it’s time to grow up, act an adult and try to get my life back on track.

If you're being for real..thats a damn shame. Some of your stories completely took away the worry of hairloss for a time and made me laugh about it. Either way....hope everythign goes well for you.

I am suprised you get no income from these incredible stories.

That 'classic' about you turning up in the background of historical events would have been absolutely brilliant, easily good enough for a film, can you not just give us one last one :(

Funniest thing I've ever seen you write. Laughed so hard!


Your humor will be missed.

Gunner, I can't believe I am hearing you say this. Some of your stories were so so, some were humorous, and some were fcuking laugh-out-loud hilarious. All of them were entertaining.

At the very least, if you are absolutely SET on not writing anymore, could you release one more... the 'Kept Cropping Up'? Spend some time on it, wordsmith it to perfection in prose and rhythm, and publish it here. The images of one of your norwood essays set amongst Dealey Plaza during the JFK shooting sounds like a classic.

As for you initiating some change in your life, good for you. Sometimes change is needed for change's sake, and perhaps it has been overdue for you. Onward and conquer, Gunner! Cheers for the laughs and to your endeavours.

I am sure if you were to take some of your 'stories' to a production company, they would have never seen anything like it before! A storey about you shouting 'Norwood' in inappropriate funny situations, they would be insane if they did not cut you some kind of deal ! maybe somekind of TV sketch thing?

Go for it !

Glad to hear it Gunner, I really wish you the best. For all my ragging on you and all that, I really just wanted to see you get yourself together and be truly happy with yourself. I really do wish that for all of you, it feels good to like who you are regardless of what your hair looks like on a certain day.

It’s time to move on and retire from the hair loss stories. I don’t want to be doing this when I’m 26, that's for sure. The only reason I wrote them was to entertain myself in this depressing situation. It worked - I laughed into the night writing them.

Mainly because they are all plainly embarrassing and humiliating experiences, that we all fear.

Maybe someone can do a stand up routine on hair-loss one day. It’s an untouched area.

An American comic maybe - Dave Attell would be ideal actually.

Here are few old one’s (2004) with classic hair loss humiliation included:-
