I found out last week that my father's sister (bless her soul) had red-hair but dyed it black her entire life. She had been picked on about her red hair as a child.

Ginger was hot, but I was always a Mary Ann kind of guy.

That gingham top........oh boy.

More of a MAryAnn man myself. She’s a keeper.

There was a kid in high school who’d always say, “I’d rather be dead than have a red head”...

Natural redheads comprise 4% of the US female population, and 1% of the male population.

Now go stand in an an airport and count the redheaded girls that walk by, as a percentage of population.

Somebody must like red hair.

I say an airport, because it is a self-selecting economic index.

No freakin' way! Dang. She still looks hot for an almost 70-year old and she's way older than my mother. :-)

anyway, back to topic, blonde, brunette, redhead, Triple-C don't discriminate, ladies. ;-)

When scalp hair follicles are counted Blonds average over 115,000, Brunettes about 100,000 and Red Heads about 85,000. They may come up short in the hair department but...........

Ahem:

Alas, poor me, two women in my life and both redheads; my dear wife of 30 years and our daughter.
I can’t remember the last time I won an argument.

You sound like my dad :)

My parents had 8 grandchildren. Of those eight, seven, included our adopted daughter, had read hair in their childhood. Our middle child is and remains a blond. As adults, only two could still be called red headed but they are clearly so and both are male. Prior to this generation, the only clearly redheaded person we know of was my great grandfather who was a red headed, left handed cowboy.

I should have added that I am blessed to have those two redheads in my life.

I have one red head son out of eight kids. He does tend to be a deep thinker and does have a temper.

I have heard that most vikings were red heads as were the tribe of Joseph, Easu, King David, Jesus (auburn mixed with red) and according to a book I read on the Middle East there is a tradition of Mohammed being red headed. Heard Buddha was red headed too (not sure about this but he was Aryan and many of the ancient statues I saw of him in China depicted him with blue eyes).
