Attracting Attention

In a local coffee shop the other day, Mrs H and I were chatting away over coffee and a mince pie, which may be early for mince pies, but they are one of the few attractions of Christmas.

Sitting nearby was an old chap wearing the most unconvincing wig I’ve ever seen. From his face I’d guess he was in his seventies. The wig was jet black and rather shiny with little whisps of grey hair peeping out from underneath. It looked as if he’d made it himself from a cheap Halloween wig.

Of course, a chap can wear whatever he chooses on his head and if it attracts attention maybe he doesn't care. I certainly couldn’t help glancing at it every now and then. His wife’s wig was equally unconvincing but rather less bizarre. Maybe it was some kind of promotional campaign for wig-making kits.
