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).
