What? Beard? Post!

Some of you may know about my fascination with beards.

Well, here's another tidbit. 500,000 Irish pounds - that's monetary pounds, not weight pounds - are lost each year thanks to facial hair's absorption of beer. At today's exchange rate, that's coming on a goddamn million greenbacks worth of lost beer.

For the love of Jehosophat, Irishmen! Shave off your beards! Get rid of the mustaches! What the hell kind of Irishman would let that much Guiness go to waste? And if you're dripping down your front, shave the chest hair, too!
