Big Heads

Isn’t it incredible. Genes must be playing a role here. That you have the same taste in clothes is not all that remarkable but that you have the same big head as I have that I find amazing. Hat size 60 is definitely not average. Up to now you are only the second individual I have come across with that size, the other one was Frank Thring, one of our actors. He also played the main role in the film Ben Hur in the sixties. Our wigmaker had a very large clientele, and he was the only one with such a head and was classified as over-dimensional.

With the nice guy from Aachen I am assuming you are talking about cousin Jakob, the carnival clown? I was also very active in the carnival, in my twenties, with the “Grielaechern” in Reuschenberg. I was one of the 3 spinners. We ridiculed all sorts of things and had a lot of fun. I am also very experienced at taking the mickey out of people!
