You know, having a beard is like having a motorcycle: It prompts people to give you their unsolicited opinions about them, even if it’s something really awful and offensive.

OK, you have to share what unsolicited opinion you got today that prompted this.
Funny, hardly anybody ever comments on my beard. Somebody who hasn't seen me in a while might say, "Oh, you have a beard now." But nobody ever says whether or not he or she likes it. No snarky comments or nothin'. (Well, not counting my ex-wife.)

I fricking love beards. EVERYONE looks good in a beard, I'd grow one if I had the biological ability to. But apparentally I inherited my facial from my maternal side, not from my dad, a man who walked around for most of the 60s and 70s looking like a long lost member of ZZTop.
Wow... I guess beards do inspire unsolicited opinions... as a wise man once said 'Beards: they grow on you'.
It was nothing recently, but once in a while I've found myself in a conversation with folks (women, mainly) who start chatting about beards. Inevitably one or two will talk about how they can't stand them, blah blah blah, and I'm thinking--I'M RIGHT HERE and I can HEAR you.
And the motorcyclists I know tell me similar stuff. Everyone thinks seeing somone who owns a bike gives them license to put them down or tell horror stories. Weird.
