DEPRESSING news in the September edition of National Geographic: redheads are becoming rarer and could become extinct - some experts say the last redhead could be born by 2060.
Others say the redhead gene can disappear for a generation or two in a family and reappear...
...the proportion of the world's population with natural red hair is down to 2per cent...
On every level, that's surely a tragedy. Before we let this rare and precious species go, has anyone considered what it might be like to live in a world without redheaded women?
...Groucho Marx once admitted... "I don't know why, but whenever I dream of a nurse, she always has red hair. Red hair makes a man want to recover his health quickly, so that he can get on his feet and the nurse off hers."...
Sheer and entirely justifiable terror typically prevents people from joking about redheads in the way they do about blondes. In fact, there are some redhead jokes, but they read like tributes, oozing with awe.
...What is the difference between dating a redhead and putting your hand into a blender? There is a 50-50 chance the blender isn't on.
...If you love a redhead, set her free. If she follows you everywhere, pitches her tent in your front lawn and puts your new girlfriend in the hospital, she's yours.
In the US, they say a trucker will slow down for a blonde, stop for a brunette and back up 500m for a redhead...
A natural redhead is generously sprinkled with freckles and therefore comes with her own built-in board game, known as join the dots.
Yes, they'll be missed. As Mark Twain put it: "While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats."
Prrrr.

I’ve passed along whatever redhead genes I could to my sons- I assume eventually they or their kids (or their kids’ kids) will continue the breed...
That is what I tell her! Red hair is stunning on her. Cant get that color out of a bottle either, I have tried LOL!
Ginger Ping!
I trust that you have told her that there are lot of men who are dead suckers for redheads.
I have an obsession with redheads.
I guess it comes from the fact that when I was young I had a neighbor across the street who was two years older than I and was a six-foot tall drop dead beauty with fire engine red hair. She was something else..let me tell you.
Ive heard recently that she’s now an FBI agent.
The current and best representative of red head hotness is Kari Byron, of Mythbusters...woo hoo!
Hey, I’m a “red” head.
Between what hair I got left and the sun it’s red on top all the time...
Red beard too though that’s showing signs of turning another less spectacular color...
Hmmmmmmm....
my husband is a red head. his sister and mother also.
my sister in law is a red head
the earth is going to tip on its’ axis. too many redheads in one portion of the world.
So, What is this about diversity when schools in Los Angeles are 100% latino?
Yeah, what is it with red-haired girls who dye their hair blonde. If they only knew what a turn-on ginger is. Okay, I think I’m done now....
She can only change the colour, not the personality. She should know that many a Red Blodded American Man likes a feisty lassie.
This thread’s for you.

Yes, she is a feisty lass, but she is also stubborn as a mule :)
