Could Red Soon Be Dead? [Readheads going extinct?]

Well, they put out like crazy, so it's hard to imagine they will become extinct...

LOL! Or how 'bout this one - Red in the head, fire in the bed.

[Thumper1960]

Ahhhh...the redhead......hair of crimson red; eyes of emerald green; ripe lips that smile and sing; your nights unfold obscene...........

And, I married a blonde.

Go figure.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I always fancy a shag.

[ThreePuttinDude]

I've yet to meet a redhead, that wasn't proud she was one...

[aculeus]

Readheads going extinct? I blame television for the decline in reading. :-)

Ouch!

Oh well, I make so many few posting errors, I might as well sit back and enjoy this one. :-)

A small percentage of Jews have red hair. I think King David was one.

[Thumper1960]

And, they're still waiting for rhe Red bull.

[ASOC]

LOL
Lucky you. She was a beauty of rare deportment, eyes as green as emeralds, hair the color of the setting sun.

Mona was her name.

Sigh.

OTOH, Mrs ASOC is a cutie with a great sense of humor (and is inclined to cut me slack) so all turned out well.

Both my wife and my daughter, alas for me, two women in my house and both are red heads!!!

[RJS1950]

I love redheads. My first two girlfriends were redheads, and my wife is one (with redheaded grandparents and nephews) and two of my sons are redheads. The trait is not going to die off that soon.

[wtc911]

Help....I'm fading....

[EternalVigilance]

Did my part to stave off this worldwide catastrophe! :-)

I'm a redhead, my ex is a redhead...our two boys are redheads...and our daughter is a strawberry blonde...with definite red highlights.

Neither of my parents were redheads...but my paternal grandmother was...the German side. My Irish maternal side tended towards black hair. My sister got that. My elder brother was somewhere between my red and her black.

Genetics are an amazing thing, truly.

[Thinkin' Gal]

What's a redhead thread without...

[Pyro7480]

There's not a redhead walking that I won't look at twice, sometimes, thrice

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. ;-) There is a redhead friend of mine, who I met my first day of college, who I had the biggest crush on for the longest time. She married though, and now, I'm getting to know another redhead :-D

[madison10]

I think King David was one.

May have been. His complexion was called "ruddy." Whatever that means. ;)

Here ya go.....

An early girlfriend of mine, who I will call only "Lisa L."
was a natural redhead, and was 100% Jewish, neither of whose parents had red hair, and whose only brother had dark brown hair.
I once had a talk with her Israeli boyfriend , who followed me chronologically. I said I was always attracted to Lisa's red hair---he said he was attracted to her "red mind".
The next time I happened to talk to her, long after we broke up, she informed me she had broken up with this Israeli boyfriend, an Architecture student, and wasn't it ironic that I would call just as she was breaking up with another guy.
I once knew a somewhat unbalanced woman in Chicago, named Ingrid Paul, who once ran a cabaret nightclub on the North Side called "Redhead".
THERE! I have completely tapped my redhead vein. There are no further associations.
But I did find this piece very interesting.
PS-erotically speaking, the very best thing about some redheads is when and if they come with the full complement, Irish-style, of milky white skin and freckles.

[BenLurkin]

There will be redheads in the future:

King David is supposed to have been a red head.
