Time Zone Transference...

Season 5 Episode 22: The Godfather, Part III
Airdate:
March 19 1987
Sam's goddaughter Joyce Pantusso shows up at Cheers and mentions she just came from Oregon.

Cliff knows everything there is to know about traveling and share some insight with us.


Ah, a left coaster huh?
(Joyce: "Yeah.")
You know, recent medical studies have shown that time zone transference, A.K.A. jet lag, not only can be very upsetting to one's metabolism, but also directly correlates to the loss of hair follicles.


The truth:

A hair follicle is the tubular infolding of the epidermis containing the root of a hair, basically a sac from which a hair grows and into which the sebaceous glands open.

It is impossible to lose one's hair follicles.
