All the busts of Pericles represent him wearing a helmet this to avoid what the artists thought an abnormality, the average Greek having a round, smooth chucklehead like that of a Bowery bartender.

"Well," he said, "certain unfriendly persons have studiously circulated the impression that I am eligible for the Paresis Club a chucklehead, in fact.
