Ok, I'm here to straighten this out!! I can state for the record that Mary Jo's hair was not like that when we were together. So what you see in the picture is obviously the work of a nefarious "rascal", as Mary Jo would say. And I can tell you how I can state this so definitively!
Just before the picture that you see was taken, there were people approaching from our left (from the right as you look at the photo). I was afraid that they were going to walk into the picture so I turned to my left to get their attention. I know that as I turned my head to look, there was absolutely nothing in the way of me making full eye contact with these folks. So, therefore, I can state categorically that Mary Jo's hair is not that high!
