Or you could make a study of the thing and learn such neat facts like:
"The most treacherous beard in history was that of Austrian Hans Steininger. It was more than two metres long and he kept it rolled and stowed in a leather pouch, but in 1567 he tripped over it while running from a fire, and perished.
One of the CIA's more insane attempts to destabilise Cuba was to put toxic thallium salts in the shoes of Fidel Castro to make his beard fall out."
I celebrate my beard. I've been known to compliment other men on their beards.
ReplyDeleteI think we need more beards in public places. Any candidate free enough to wear a beard will get a more serious look from me!
