As long as we are on the subject of beards, I have always felt that a person should not grow a beard unless he (or she) (or shewolf) (is there a grammatical rule for the amount of consecutive parenthesis?) could carry such a thing off with distinction.
I offer the following example of beardom at its finest....
The texture, the color, the flow, the density....it is all there. That is the perfect beard.
Even though some purists may argue that, technically, that is not a beard, but rather a goatee, but I disregard such protests.
