I felt truly embarrassed, and because I couldn't find my hair in a hurry among all my inventory, I slapped on the first topper I could find - a bizarre tall hat (I have no idea where I acquired it!) to cover "my" baldness. Once I did that, I felt as though I had a breater in which I could take the time to find my "real" hair and put it on. During this time, I simply wasn't paying attention to the lecture.
