h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

They say that man can go grey overnight.

I thought I was one of the furtunate ones especially in relation to my younger brother. Who is considerable greyer than me while being 2 years younger.

OK so I spotted my first grey hair at the age of 20 but over the last 16 years the advancement of this has gone faiurly unnoticed. However, when I starred in the mirror this morning I noticed that the sides of my hair were considerably greyer than a month ago and horror of horrors my stubble was so grey that it now looks like I'm going to have to shave daily to avoid looking to have aged so much.

Age is just a number, hair is just a colour. Wrinkles are part of our smiles. Don't fight it.

It's the sudden onset of the latest bit that does worry me. I was hoping to follow my Dad's example of going grey very gradually.

You must be at the age where it's all going downhill very fast. Not that I want to depress you or anything....

What do you mean?

One thing is definately not going downhill I just have no way to exercise it at present.

Anyway I though men with thinning pates was an indication of something else.
