No, it's all true.  The following speech is from the film "Glen or
Glenda", an incredibly scientific documentary movie made by Edward Wood, Jr.,
who also created "Plan 9 From Outer Space".

"Men's hats are so tight they cut off the blood flow to the head, thus
cutting off the growth of hair.  Seven out of ten men wear hats, so the
advertisements say.  Seven out of ten men are bald!  But what about the
ladies?  Yes, modern woman is a hardworking individual also.  But when a
modern woman's day of work is done, that which is designed for her home
comfort, is comfort.  Hates that give no obstruction to the blood flow.
Hats that do not crush the hair.  Interesting thought, isn't it?"

Incidentally, the movie is about a man who decides to get a sex change
after he develops a fetish for his wife's angora sweater.  The movie was
written and directed by Ed Wood, who also plays Glen and/or Glenda--a
true cinematic legend.
