quotations about baldness
No Brenner male has ever gone bald. In my family, you can marry out of your faith or race, but God help you if you marry a bald man and bring the bald gene into the family pool. One cousin of mine violated the family code and married from the Dome Head Clan. Luckily they never had any children. Their dog went bald, which is something no one has ever understood and that has been discussed only in muted tones well out of earshot.

However, this argument seems to be contrary to the rest of male reproductive behaviour and physiology which permits men to reproduce for almost as often and as long as desired.
