Men can be just as vain as women.

Warning: Spoilers
When Lucy innocently points out the fact that Ricky's hair is starting to receive, he takes it way too serious and shows insecurity about it, wearing a hat at breakfast. This gets in some good bald jokes in at Fred's expense, and basically just points out the fact that men don't show vanity until they think that they are losing their hair. Lucy visits the drug store, dealing with the creepy Milton Parsons (a John Carradine look-alike) who thinks that she's looking for hair restorer for herself (telling Lucy that her real hair looks like a cheap wig), and Lucy goes crazy with purchasing the most bizarre hair restoring products out there. She also has a party of bald men come over to the house with Fred joins with a bad toupee, with William Frawley looking like he did in the movie "Chicken Every Sunday". Funny episode, especially when it focuses on Lucy's "torture system".
