London, Jan 14 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A man claims that he has been turned into a laughing stock after a surgeon who performed hair transplant on him left a little message on his head.
It took 19 years after the surgery for Darren Hope to realized that he was carrying the word “W****R” on his scalp. What is worse, it was not him who discovered the swear word.
Hope was out playing cricket when his team mate started laughing at him. Not knowing what the problem was, he asked him why. To his amazement, he told him that he was carrying a very unusual message on his head.
On why it took so long for the word to be noticed, Hope indicated that ever since he had the follicle transplant, he was so proud with his new look that he kept his hair long for all the while. He indicated that he only decided to have a low shave last summer and that was what brought the words out.
After looking at the inscription on the mirror himself, Hope decided that the best way to deal with the issue is to leave his hair to grow again because the inscription cannot be removed.
