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).
