Gay bald math teachers
I don't exactly have a representative sampling, but I'm finding an alarming trend. I went to Jeff's birthday party a few days ago. Nice party, although the space prevented easy mingling of the attendants. Jeff introduced me to a guy named Mike. Mike is a math teacher in a middle school. He also shaves his head and likes men.
Charles introduced me to Mohammed. Mohammed is also a bit giddy for men, shaves his head, and teaches math.
I know lots of other math teachers, all straight. They all have hair on their heads. There was this one guy in my masters program who was occasionally shaved, and I think he was gay during those times.
Does shaving one's head make someone gay, but only if they also like math? Do gay math teachers just like shaving their heads? Does the additional heat generated from all that complex math combined with really rough and dirty thoughts about men just sizzle the hair off?
It's time to do some research.

I'm not sure how this fits into your statistics, but there is a math teacher at my school who shaves his head, and I'm pretty sure he is not gay at all. Maybe just an anomaly...

Interesting ideas. I don't know myself, but I would be curious to shove some calculus books in front of Bruce Willis and see if he becomes a die-hard daddy.

Grow your hair out, and see what happens.

It's the balding gene that makes you gay. Look at the skinhead look all the gays in the UK are sporting.

I think you should ambush a straight math teacher (pick a cute one), pin him down and shave his head. Then see what happens and let us know! :-)

I hope that shaving one's head makes one gay. There are a lot of guys out there with shaved heads who I think are kinda hot. Betters the odds for me, eh?

There might be something to that...I had a bald math teacher in college. He was gay and a hunk to boot.

I know a gay math teacher who has a full head of hair!

G., you should really hang out with my partner, H.--he's one math teacher who probably needs to be surrounded by other math teachers when painting the town red. He is easily bored by all the legal-types and is probably itching for some arithmatic social complication. Help!

OK, I'll write up a grant proposal, get some bucks and hire you as a "foreign-based subject-matter expert" under NAFTA provisions.
It'll be a snap - we're very left-wing (read: loose with money) up here. I'll fly to Ottawa, pout, bat my baby-blues and say "If you don't give us the funds, we'll be very very SAD". No problem.
Of course, it'll be in Canadian currency - how many moose pelts are there to the US$ these days???
Happy New Year / Bonne Annee!

Glen, you are the only gay bald math teacher that I know. I will have to keep my eyes open for other.. Does Mike has any connection/visited to middle/far east? We must all get togther....

There are so many bald-headed men at an establishment I regularly visit (not limited to math teachers, although I may take a poll, as it were, on my next visit) that the on-stage talent has recently said the audience looks like "a central casting call for Schindler's List".
