Does this mean the wedding is off? For sure?
Indian chicks don’t dig the Ghandi look?
The Unfortunate Man
Performed by Chad Mitchell Trio
Album: “At The Bitter End”
D G A
There once was a lawyer they called Mr. Clay.
D
He had but two clients and they would not pay.
G A
At last of starvation he grew so afraid,
D
That he courted and married a wealthy old maid.
At the wedding the lawyer made one big mistake,
‘Twas not in omitting the wine or the cake,
The ring was well chosen, they had a big feed,
But the lawyer did not get a warranty deed.
[Chorus:]
He’s a very unfortunate, very unfortunate,
very unfortunate man.
Yes, he’s a very unfortunate, very unfortunate,
very unfortunate man.
At night in their chamber the lady arose,
And began to prepare to retire and repose,
Her husband stood near her admiring her charms,
That gave him such pleasure to hold in his arms.
She went to the washstand to bathe her fair face,
And thus she destroyed all her beauty and grace,
The rose on her cheek quickly grew very faint,
And he saw on the towel, ‘twas nothing but paint.
[Chorus]
She went to the mirror to take down her hair,
And when she had done so her scalp was all bare,
Said she: “Don’t be frightened to see my bald head,
“I’ll put on my cap when I get into bed.”
She hung her false hair on the wall on a peg,
Then she proceeded to take off her leg,
Her trembling husband got quite a surprise,
When she asked him to come and take out her glass eye.
[Chorus]
[The following verse was not performed by CMT:]
Her husband was biting his quivering lips,
While she removed both her counterfeit hips,
Just then her false nose clattered down to the floor,
And the lawyer ran screaming right out of the door.
Now all you young men who would marry for life,
Be sure to examine your intended wife,
Remember the lawyer who trusted his eyes,
And a little bit later got quite a surprise.
[Chorus]
Well, at least they didn’t chop his head off for wearing the wrong pants, as in the ROP.
Lol... that would have been an interesting scene!
Her parents then joined in, ripping his expensive wig apart and relieving the 33-year-old of his wallet, mobile phone, motorbike and driving licence as “penalty” for his deception, he alleged.
Mr Das, who works at a private hospital, had advertised for a bride in the matrimonial columns of a local newspaper – a common practice in India – and Dilip Roy, seeking a match for his daughter Shreshta, responded.
Get outta town baldy.
I am guessing that this guy was better off in the long run that the wedding is off.
Tough courtships in India.
Chrome-domes, arm yerselves.
It was the coverup that made them mad.
Amadinejad...are you LISTENING?
‘Looks like the family gave Prabir Das Boot...
Anyway, I feel for this guy. What we he supposed to do? He could have gotten implants, I suppose. But that can cost thousands of dollars and it ends up looking about as natural as a cornfield on a hockey rink.
And they wonder why we consider them to be primitives.
Personally speaking I don’t care if a man is bald or not. What completely turns me off is the darn wig, and I guess I just don’t understand why he would feel the need to hide a perfectly normal masculine characteristic.
To me, a wig on a man is a little creepy, but that’s just me.
He was apparently not only the Hair Club President; he was also a client.

Family goes for potential son-in-law bald-headed
Rahul Bedi in New Delhi
Police in India’s Assam state have received a complaint from a prospective groom against his would-be in-laws for allegedly thrashing him for not disclosing that he wore a wig to conceal his baldness.
A chastened Prabir Das told police that no sooner had he stepped into his fiancee’s home for dinner last week than she yanked off his wig. Thereafter, her parents and other relatives began beating and abusing him.
Mr Das said the family not only ripped his expensive wig apart but also relieved the 33-year-old hospital employee of his wallet, mobile phone, motorbike and driving licence as “penalty” for his deception.
Mr Das had advertised for a bride in the matrimonial columns of a local Bengali newspaper - a common phenomenon in India - and Dilip Roy, a retired state engineer seeking a match for his daughter Shreshta, responded.
A meeting between Mr Das and the prospective bride and their two families resulted in them becoming engaged.
The wedding was fixed for December 12th. And in keeping with Indian custom the bride’s family began planning the traditional feasting and lavish present-giving to relatives and friends. At great expense they also began putting together Shreshta’s trousseau and dowry.
But, sadly, no one in the bride’s family knew the would-be groom’s dark secret of what he had ingeniously concealed beneath a snugly fitting wig: his baldness.
To Mr Das’s eventual humiliation, however, an acquaintance spilled the beans to the stunned Roys, who were expecting him for dinner the same evening.
A few hours later, as Mr Das stepped in his prospective in-laws’ front door his would-be wife wrenched his wig off and almost simultaneously her mother slapped him hard.
Within seconds, the entire family had jumped on him and began beating him, abusing him for his duplicity.
A broken and hysterical Mr Das managed to escape, heading for the nearest police station determined on revenge.
“We have initiated an investigation on the basis of the complaint lodged by Das and detained Roy for interrogation,” a police official, Rajen Singh, said last week.
Mr Roy has pleaded ignorance and told the police he was “shocked” to learn of his prospective son-in-law’s baldness. The wedding, police said, appears to be off.
While I usually don’t condone violence, if he’s bald, he deserves to be beaten.
