Why the beard/ghoti

I was talking with Dani on how it must be wierd to not have to wear glasses anymore, something you get used to.

I realized that I've had this ghoti now for like over 4 years.

I told Dani that I couldn't just get rid of it anymore -- it's like a part of my personality.

I told her it makes me look intelligent, something to ponder with.

And then Dani pointed out ,as I was eating a Blizzard from DQ (expensive, but a nice treat once and a while), that my ghoti also acts as a filter for my sloppiness.

Spill a bit? It'll hit the beard before it gets on your shirt. So that's the ultimate reason a lot of men wear beards... I get it now. Heh :)
