the sympathy cut

In around SY, this guy Aditya, from Bio tech, had some serious accident. Poor guy had to get his head shaved for the operation and everything! (Never mind the fact that he was operated upon, I was more concerned that he had his head shaved!)

But I soon realized it was no big deal! Two days later Shekhar got his head shaved too!
Me: "What's this? Sympathy cut?"
Him: "Huh? No dude! Football!"
(What the..., I thought. Sympathy cut for a football? He does realize that footballs don't have hair!)
Him: "Its easier to shoot a header in football this way"
Me: "Oh!... Okay!"
(pause)
Him: "...and also I'm hoping this will get rid of my dandruff"
Me: "Umm... I thought you're just making Aditya feel better, getting a haircut just like his. "
Me: "We should tell his entire class to get a shaved head. That way he won't feel left out."
Him: "Yeah! That'd be great! Then they can concentrate their shine on the head on the teacher and distract her in the class!"

Hahahaha :D

(I don't know why all of a sudden I was reminded of this!)
