Haar is certainly not the navel of the world, but something like the secret center of the district of Munich. Between Unterschleißheim in the far north and Schäftlarn in the far south, the community in the east is pretty much in the center. And if you stuck a needle through Haar, this semicircular structure, which nestles around Munich and is called Munich-Land, would rotate fairly well balanced around Haar as its axis. The role of Haar as an unrecognized district town is reinforced by the facilities of the district of Upper Bavaria, a hospital and a number of high-rise buildings. But that’s not all: Of all the 29 towns and communities in the district of Munich, no place name appears in the news as often as Haar.
Nobody knows that better than the local editor, especially if he is responsible for the area around Munich, who has to keep an eye on what is happening there and what the news agencies are reporting from there. Thanks to the search query for “hair” one was reliably informed for four years about a lunatic in the White House with orange curls and his hair-raising growths above and below the brain plate. The same applied to his brother in spirit in London’s Downing Street – both ghost figures of recent history were not only characterized by confused thoughts, but also by similar hairstyles. Before that, the key word “hair” was kept up to date at best on the tinting of former Chancellor Schröder or the trash around celebrity Figaro Udo Walz. Some footballers also liked to show up with their latest haircut from the news agencies. But since Trump, Johnson and Schröder have been shaved, things have calmed down considerably.
In return, another confused head has unexpectedly appeared in connection with hair these days: Elon Musk, the e-car and rocket guru, who wants to open Twitter again for Trump. According to Reuters news agency, the richest man in the world has launched a perfume that seriously smells like burnt hair. Already 10,000 customers are said to have bought one of the red bottles. This raises questions: Who is willing to pay 100 euros for such a stench? After all, few things smell worse than the sulfur compounds produced by burning hair’s keratin, an amino acid. And how many of Musk’s fans would buy other body odors that we don’t want to speculate about at this point? Far-fetched? Exactly!
By the way, lavender is said to help against the smell of scorched hair.
