Men with beards

Whenever I come across a man with a full, bushy beard, the kind that's rounded on the end, and not straggly and pointed and trailing off, I'm reminded of my father.

It doesn't matter if the details of the face behind the beard are different. It doesn't matter about the skin color. Hair color doesn't matter, much, as long as some of it's going grey. Some deep part of me says, This man looks like my father.

In the photos of Saddam Hussein, after he was captured from his hideout, before he was shaved, he looked like my father.

Spooky

Wow. It's like a 21st century version of Sylvia Plath calling her father Hitler.

Or maybe he just has a beard, and beards remind you of your beardo father.

Don't be mean!

No, I wasn't saying that - I was being self-deprecating. There was no need to be angry.



You Goddamn pudding-ox.
