I spend time wondering about very stupid things. You know it's a heck of a lot better to be wondering about stupid things than to be doing stupid things. I say that from many years of experience. What were those stupid things I have done? Well many have been written about in this blog. However, not today my friend. Today my wonderment has been distracting me and I just need to get it off my chest!
So, the question is, what is the deal with facial hair? It seems like about 90% of men (and 27% of women) have some sort of growth on their chins. I'm beginning to think we are back in the pre-revolutionary war era in terms of men's grooming. Not only are there more men with facial hair, I can't recall when personal grooming meant so little.
I suppose you can attribute this to the success of Duck Dynasty. If you haven't seen it the Robertson family all have beards that may have never been trimmed. If not Duck Dynasty you might say the the beards sported by the San Francisco Giants in recent World Series could be the contributing factor. Maybe it is a little bit of both. Either way, I'm glad I don't work for Gillette as this must be cutting into sales.
Ok, that's my gripe for today. I know it's trivial, but then, it's my gripe and I can be as trivial as I want.
