A while back I told you about the time I had shaved off my beard before going to my sister’s wedding. My dad, who had not seen me without one for ten years or more, greeted me at the door.
“Hello, sir,” he said. “I’m Bud, the bride’s father.”
“Well, hello, Bud,” I replied, shaking his hand. “I’m Tim, the bride’s father’s son.”
All of which brings me to today’s story. Last night I once again shaved off my beard, which I’m prone to do from time to time every decade or so. Now there’s this really weird dude staring at me from all my mirrors. He’s got this shiny bald head and looks just like that old detergent ad-fellow.
You know the one I mean.

My brother grew a beard once. We were in our 20’s, and then he decided to shave half of his beard and mustache off. Then we went to the mall to see what people would do. Only one person noticed. Gee… what’s the point of doing something crazy if nobody notices??

That’s because he shaved the WRONG side off!

LOL… I’ll have to tell him that and see if he wants to try again!

Ever since I’ve known my husband he had a mustache. Well, it was going gray in some areas and it always looked like he had food or something on it. I said “why don’t you shave it?” He told me “nope”. Well, a few days after New Year’s one year he came home from a visit with his sisters and their families who live nearby and he passed a remark that our brother-in-law “noticed right away”. I wasn’t sure what he meant and I looked at him and he said “you don’t even notice that I shaved my mustache? He shaved it New Years Eve and I never noticed it…and I didn’t even have a drink!
