Rick “Rick’s Hair” Nef

Rick found fame at a young age when his hair began to show signs of sentience. His mother states that, “even as a lad, Rick would sit in the nursery and have long conversations with his hair.” But unlike other people to be found possessing sentient hair, even from birth Rick’s hair displayed immense knowledge on a variety of topics, including ancient Roman history, string theory, and a robust database of béarnaise sauce recipes. Against Rick’s wishes, his hair hit the road on tour as a stand up comedian. But the cerebral nature of Rick’s Hair’s musings usually eluded audiences who came to theaters merely to laugh. But Rick’s hair’s disappointing run as a comic wasn’t without its good moments. Rick’s Hair, accompanied by Rick, performed at the National Mensa Convention in San Francisco to a more than receptive audience. “Never have we heard comedy that comes from a more cerebral place,” said Duke Strathan, convention chairman. “As far as we are concerned, Rick’s Hair is a welcome member of Mensa International.”
