What's the deal with all these beards these days?

Be careful what you ask for - G-d may give you the beard, but G-d could still have you come back as a woman.

I'd take lots of testosterone, in that case! Transition to a bloke. No-one would ever have to know.

Aren't they uncomfortable to wear? I think they are very unsanitary. I think they're gross. I think they're barbaric. They look creepy too. They look dirty and uncouth. They look beastly and non-human.

It's the stupidest fashion thing guys ever took up.

SHAVE for goodness sakes.

Funny you mention this, because I just recently shaved my chin for the first time in 20 years (I always do the opposite of trends).

10 Longest Beards In The World [2019] – BeardStyle

#1 Hans Nilsen Langseth – longest beard on earth

A native of Norway, Hans Nilsen Langseth or widely known as the King of Whiskers is the World Record Holder for the longest beard sizing up to 17-feet and 6-inches long. His beard was only measured during his burial at Kensett, Iowa in the year 1927. Although he was already residing in the United States for 15 years, it was never been measured not until he died. By the year 1967, it was presented to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC, U.S.A.

I really can't grow a decent beard. It ends up looking like a strap holding my hair on. But the world would be a less interesting place without them.

Would you recognize these guys without the beards? Incidentally, the guy without the beard is Frank Beard.

Where would the Soggy Bottom Boys be without the beards?

Then there are cool beards like Marco Hietala's.

And of course there is John Travolta with his beard.

I grow a pathetic beard, so have never had one -- though an epic moustache helps make up for the deficit.

My lover, on the other hand, has not...in the last 25 years, been permitted to shave off his beard, once a beautiful brown, now nearly as white as snow. I still insist that he keep it, although nicely trimmed. (When he was paralyzed in hospital, we couldn't do much, so it grew out way too scraggly. Our first trip out of rehab was to take a cab to a very expensive barber for a professional trimming.)
