I’m trying to figure out just how little I’d do it for. $10,000, definitely. $5,000 maybe. $1,000, probably not. ---

Anne, are the coworkers who wouldn’t do it evil? I mean really evil. I can see not wanting to shave your head and expose the mark of the beast, but otherwise? Put me down for a hell yeah. Can I donate the shorn hair to locks for love so I could be all pious/smug when people asked me why? I’d still do it if the answer was no, but it’d be a nice bonus if it’s yes. ---

Once I had a male co-worker ask me would I sleep with another “homely” female colleague for a million dollars. I said, Dude… I’d sleep with you for a million dollars. Sorry for the hi-jack. ---

Yeah I’d go as low as $1,000. Maybe $500 these days… ---

A million dollars? In an instant. A hundred thousand? Yep Ten thousand? You bet. One thousand? possibly One hundred? probably not ---

Sure. A million bucks would buy a LOT of wigs. Hell, I’d shave my head for a lot less than a million dollars. It’s hair, it grows back, and it’s not like I’d get my head waxed. ---

I would hold my wife down and shave her head for a million dollars. She might be pissed off at first, that is until I split it with her 75:25. Oh okay, 70:30. ---

Derrr! Of course, and I adore my hair. It’s about the only pretty thing this old woman has left. I’d probably do it for less. ---

I once did a poll here asking people if they’d give up a year of their life for a million dollars. I was surprised when a substantial number said they’d do it (and some even said they’d do it for less). Shaving your head is trivial in comparison. ---

I’d be in the $200-300 range. I don’t have a job where I have to look nice for clients. I can wear scarves. ---

Sure, why not! Can I donate my hair to Locks of Love while I’m at it?
