Goats

There was a time when having whiskers on your chin was a good thing. In the last few months, though, I've noticed a disturbing trend: whenever there's a news story about a pedophile, a flasher, a guy who may or may not have killed his wife, or any other creepy deviant, almost without exception they have what's commonly referred to as a goatee ( though traditionally called a Van Dyke).

I've had a goatee myself on and off since I've been able to grow hair on my face, and it has been over 6 years since I've seen my chin. It's too bad that some people have been bringing a bad name to those who choose to have beards.

Without any hair on my face I look like a 15-year-old, which really isn't a good look for me. Annie would probably leave me if I didn't have at least some hair on my face. But I don't think I can continue sporting a goatee with all the bad press guys with goatees have been getting lately.

So I'm considering a change. Please refer to the following chart:
