What an absolutely fascinating article, and a rather intriguing way of both offering thanks and not wasting something.
The edict thus makes sense to me.
Interestingly, I assumed that Indian wigs would be cheaper, coming from a Third World nation (albeit one rapidly stealing our jobs). Instead, it seems that those who spend the most on wigs are the ones likely to be affected the most. The can of worms long since opened about whether a $5,000 wig is a sign of true modesty is once again on the floor, as I ponder if perhaps this isn't a sign that maybe the meaning of the law is lost under the hair.

Enough of this. I got work to do.
