I started getting grey hairs in my twenties and have a lot more now.
Going purely on the basis of people I know, I'm fairly convinced that men who go grey early are far less likely to go bald - not sure whether there's ever been any research to prove this or otherwise.

Except you are already bald before gone grey...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Just on a technical note, having consulted a colour chart, the word we're looking for is not "grey" but "distinguished".

What's left of the hair on my head is still dark (very few if any white hairs). My beard started going grey at about age 45.
I can't blame my hair loss on my kids; that happened well before they were born. The grey hairs in my beard, OTOH...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It started in my mid-20s. (as well as my hair)

Somewhere, sometime, I noticed the first few of what is now a rampaging hoard.
What drew my attention all the more was that it has a strange kinky style to it, making random bends along its length. Then I knew, for better or worse, that I'd end up looking something like a cross between Mark Twain and Albert Einstein. I was even gifted a couple of tee-shirts with images of the latter. (Both the look and the shirt are remarkably appropriate).

I wish my hair & beard would hurry up and finish going grey.
I have what I can only describe as a go faster strip on each side of my head, from the front of my head that goes down to in front of my ears and follows the hair line to near my neck.
And recently in the last 2 years I have grey tufts on the corners of my beard on each side of the chin.

Long ago. As long as you have lead in your pencil, silver in your beard doesn't matter.

Some of my hair has turned grey, but it is largely still my natural brownish colour.
My beard is starting to get more salt to it, though.
Looking at pictures from the past makes me more aware of it because I then see the contrast between then and now..
But, since I still have a full head of hair while my younger brother is a chrome dome, I'm good with it.

My hairline started receding the year I graduated from college, when I was 23. By the time I was 30, I had lost enough that I gave up and started buzzing off what was left. I'm 56 now, I've had the beard for about 3 years, and it's around 30% gray. It's a little difficult to tell since I'm blond.
The funny thing is that my little brother, who's 4 years younger than I am, has completely gray hair (even less than I have) and beard. It's probably the mileage rather than the years in his case  .

Sovereign?
Rein a horse in, Sir Issac measures Gravity (g), and then something something something for the Sove bit...? Nope no idea.
I suggest Sovereign as Sir Issac was also master of the royal mint if I remember correctly and introduced measures to counteract counterfeit coins.

REINFORCE?
REIN - "checking" a horse by slowing it down.
FORCE - what you measure in Newtons.

So where does "reinforce" fit into "Checked and measured Sir Isaac"? I'm probably being thick again, but I can't see it ...

I have a weakness for registering domain names ... a weak vice ? ... when I suddenly get an idea ... morning-after, I then wonder what I thought I'd do with them 
Right now (I have zero web-sites), I've got the rights to strategicretweet.com and zombiebychoice.com
Any ideas other than "fugeddaboutit" ? For the "zombie" site: maybe a line of ghoul-make-up for Goths and Cosplayers ? Maybe need a celebrity endorsement ... maybe Kristen Stewart ?
Too bad I let piglipschtick.com expire.
thanks, Bill
