An affliction that ails men entering middle
age, usually evidenced by a swollen
head that was not present in their teens or twenties. As best can be determined, SHS is caused by a lifetime of a diet high in
animal fats and high sodium intake.
After watching William Shatner in "
Star Trek" and John Travolta in "Welcome Back Kotter," then again seeing them both over twenty years
later in "Boston Legal" and "Pulp Fiction," it was clear that both venerable actors suffered from Swollen
Head Syndrome (SHS).
