The female sex hormone stimulates the growth of hair on the head, prompting frequent visits to the hair salon, and stunts the growth of the beard and of body hair. Of course, the female hormones do not always completely inhibit the growth of facial or of body hair, and some unwanted hair develops, but this is nothing that cannot be cosmetically corrected by another trip to the beauty salon, to the drug store, or to the doctor. web page

I have given my daughter very strict instructions that should I become ga-ga she must ensure that someone plucks the whiskers from my chin on a regular basis. _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

How she must have suffered over the years. _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

The older and hairier you are the more respect you command. Or so I've been told. They don't have beards like the picture but quite a few hairs nevertheless.

I have enough trouble taming my own beard! But, if I really liked her, I guess we could share the same razor, foam and mirror space... _________________________ "The best teacher is not the one who knows most but the one who is most capable of reducing knowledge to that simple compound of the obvious and wonderful." ...
