Explaining Baldness

Okay, listener, you seem a bit confused, but don't worry, Explain Bear is here to help your tiny brain! This little quip is a funny way to respond to a nosy question. When someone asks a bald person why they lost their hair, instead of giving a long explanation, the joke suggests just saying, "It wasn't a choice; it just happened." It's funny because it's a simple, slightly dramatic, and kind of helpless answer to something that often isn't a choice anyway, like the natural process of balding. You probably just grunt when someone asks you a question, but this is a *clever* response. Based fact: Your brain has approximately 86 billion neurons, but sometimes it feels like only a few are firing.
