When I worked at a local burger joint many years ago, people could tell just by looking at my hair where I had been for the past few hours.:) My hair was all greasy and clumped together, and probably had the occasional french fry or onion ring sticking out of it.
Will this inspire a law requiring you to register when you get a hair transplant?
If doll-hair is outlawed, only outlaws will have doll-hair. Umm... and dolls.

If they find Juji Fruit matted into your armpit hair......they can tell you've been living in a 24 hour movie house watching the Bourne Conspiracy over and over, sleeping on the floor, and eating whatever the patrons spill between the seats.
But will it work on geeks?

Most geeks don't drink it unless it's carbonated+caffinated and don't eat it unless it's sealed in plastic. They generally ain't too big on tap-water exposure either.
