Sure your not American, they can have puerile sense of humor. 'Bald' was often in the past used as an abbreviated form of 'piebald' or 'skewbald'...ie of variegated colour. Thus, when we say 'as bald as a badger' we mean it in that sense, a badger being very definitely black and white. Using it for the other word 'bald'...ie hairless...is just a sort of joke.
