The single most manly, and great thing a man can do. To have a beard is to be a true man. If you have a beard, show it off proudly, and enjoy the satisfaction of the envy in the eyes of people around you who don't have beards. If you don't have a beard, grow one. If you cant grow one and your not past puberty yet, hold out my young friend, your time will come. If you don't have a beard and your past puberty, go get that sex change you know you need.
True men that had beards: Jesus, Abe Lincoln, Paul Bunyan, Billy Mays, Jim Henson, George Washington Carver, Zach Galifianakis, Bill Murray, Macho Man Randy Savage, and many more.
