https://www.yahoo.com/health/his-comb-over-could-have-killed-him-102617728467.htmlFor years, basketball coach Gene Keady sported a comb-over as he stood on the sidelines for the Purdue Boilermakers. And for years, he paid $600 a week to keep his hairstyle in good shape complete with hair extensions to keep his locks comb-over-able.
"It was ugly," he told the Indy Star. Everyone was always asking, What is it? Why are you doing it? I did it because I was on TV. I did it because I was going bald. I thought I looked gorgeous with the comb-over. Of course, it was very ugly....
A year after he and his wife, Kathleen Petrie, were married, she finally convinced Keady to get rid of the comb-over. In fact, she buzzed it off herself in January 2013. And when she finished with the electric razor, she discovered something alarming beneath Keadys infamous hair.
"Squamous cell carcinoma," Kathleen said. "Its possible he wouldnt be here today if hed kept that hair."

All those years I could have sworn it was a rug!
