My Sandwich Compartment Forehead

For whatever reasons, I happen to be somewhat well endowed in the forehead region.  My wife (bless her heart) likes to refer my forehead as my Sandwich Compartment.

She jokes that I can keep a sandwich in there, maybe even a soda.  When she says this, she mimics the motion of opening up my forehead like a cooler and reaching in to grab a nice delicious sandwich.

A while ago we were talking about .NET bloggers in general because we just had dinner with Jeff Atwood.  I showed her Scott Hanselman’s blog as an example of a really really popular .NET blog.  She remarked,

Well he must be smart!  His forehead is even bigger than yours!

See for yourself with these comparison photos.

I told this story to Scott today via Skype and he confided in me that someone once referred to his forehead as his fivehead.

If I had been drinking a Coke at that point, it would have been snorted all over my keyboard.  Many thanks to Scott for allowing me to share this story, albeit grudgingly. ;)

As a coworker of mine once said:

"Would you rather have a million dollars, or Haack's head full of nickels?"

Well maybe I added that last part...

Ha ha ha! NICKELS! But I'd have to remove the sandwich.

Yeah you're almost but not quite into Vigo from Ghostbusters II territory ;-)

Can't tell how big Knuth's forehead is - the lack of hair means it gives the illusion of going on forever.

I am afraid I have you both beat.

On top of having a large forehead (fivehead, haha) I do have a very large/round head. It runs in the family and accentuates my large forehead. My Bro-in-law used to refer to us as the "Circle-Heads".

my brother and sister always joke that we're all victims of the "richardson fivehead"... my daughter has the distinction of getting that honor as well :)

That is hilarious. I always tell my husband Stu that he has a giant cranium. People occassionally think he's suffering from early hair loss, but the truth of the matter is that his giant melon has always looked that way.

What do you have to say?
