I have hated to shave all my life . So , when I got out of high
school and the service .
I never shaved again . Later in my life the beard turned
from red to white .
That paid off in 2003 . Several people paid me nice money
to be Santa
and another character at a wine festival .
But , to my point . My beard is very , very nice . I get compliments
about it regularly .
My only complaint is , many people . Even people I do not know .
See me and come up to me and reach out to touch my beard .
After this happened the first few times .
I decided this would not continue . So , when the next person that I
did not know
saw me ( it was in a grocery store ) .
I did the following .
She approached me and
with her hands heading toward my face .
Said , " what a beautiful beard , can I touch it " .
I said , " sure you can and I will play with your breast while you play
with my beard " .
That stopped her and I just walked away as she pondered the
situation .
I am sure she never bothered a bearded person again .
