Men with beards dirtier than dogs, study finds

Shaving may not only make men look cleaner, but it actually makes them cleaner, a new study found. Researchers say men's beards carry more microbes than dogs, The Daily Mail said. In the study at Switzerland's Hirslanden Clinic, swabs were taken from 18 men with hairy chins. They also were taken from 30 dogs of varying breeds. Professor Andreas Gutzeit said all of the beards were carrying "a significantly higher bacterial load." Only 23 of the 30 dogs had high counts. Seven of the men were even carrying harmful microbes, Gutzeit said.

Well yeah. Microbes are tiny. I couldn't imagine a beard carrying even a single dog.

What a pant load! First they tell us women who don't shave their crotch are cleaner; now they tell us man beards are dirtier than dog hair. The same dog hair that lays and wallows in dirt and on floors that beards never do. Anyone who believes this nonsense is probably a socialist bernie voter.

“Beards” like the three beards that Tom Cruise has had so far? :P

You've Got Face Mites

"Every single one of you – 100 percent of you reading this right now – has face mites. Before you break out the exfoliating scrubs and disinfectant, it's completely normal to have little animals living on your skin. And your pore pets are cute! Look at it wiggle its wee stubby legs!"

"New research suggests that no matter how scrupulous your personal hygiene, you still have face mites in your pores."

“There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, “It is just as I feared!—
Two Owls and a Hen, four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard.....

A flea died and went to Heaven. St. Peter met it at the gate and explained that it could choose how it could spend the rest of eternity.

SP: “Have you thought about it? Do you know how you’d like to spend the rest of eternity?”

Flea: “Yes St. Peter, I have thought about it, I’d like to spend the rest of eternity on the back of a rich lady’s dog.”

SP: “So be it, it’s done.”

A few weeks later St. Peter was wondering about the flea and so he called.

SP: “Flea, how are you doing?”

Flea: “Oh St. Peter, I made a terrible mistake. This old broad washes her dog two to three times a day, she perfumes it, and I’m nauseous and I have a headache from the smell.”

SP: “Well you know that you aren’t supposed to get more than one choice on how to spend the rest of eternity, but you are supposed to be happy. Have you thought about what else you might like to do?”

Flea: “Oh yes St Peter! I have thought about it and I’m sorry I didn’t bring it up before, I’d like to spend it in Willie Nelson’s beard.”

SP: “So be it, it’s done.”

Out of curiosity St. Peter checked on the flea a few weeks later.

SP: “Hello flea, how are you doing now?”

Flea: “I’m sorry St. Peter, I’m not doing well at all. I get waked up in the middle of the night, get drenched with beer, foul language all the time and I keep getting woozy with some white powder that flies around. It’s Hell, St. Peter, I’m miserable!”

SP: “You know, flea, you’re not supposed to be able to change your mind about how you spend the rest of eternity, but you say this is ‘Hell’, have you considered what else you might like to do?”

Flea: “Oh St Peter, YES! I HAVE thought about it and I have decided that I’d like to spend the rest of eternity in Dolly Parton’s (nether area).”

SP: “So be it, it’s done.”

Not being able to stand his curiosity St. Peter decided to check on the flea again after a few weeks.

SP: “How’s it going flea?”

Flea: “Oh hi St. Peter, well, it’s kind of strange... You see there was this big party. There was lots of singing and dancing, I got bounced around a lot and there was this weird smoke in the air that made me dizzy. There were hands all over me and I don’t quite remember all that happened, but would you believe it? I’m back in Willie Nelson’s beard!”

Baloney!

Guys with facial hair don’t chew their butts, eat cat poop, and sniff others’ rectums all day.
