In high school back in the '80s, I had a friend who did NOT miss HIS opportunity. He had elected to get a buzz haircut for wrestling season. Not a popular look in the 1980's and people were a lot more verbally judgmental back then (You know - when, if you wanted to talk trash, you had to have the cajones to do it in PERSON). Anyway, we went to McDonald's and the cashier actually smirked and said, "nice haircut." My friend didn't miss a beat - just said, "You know, I don't think chemotherapy is all that funny." We got free things from McDonald's.
