Painful as it is, I return (see last February's in-depth coverage) to this pox upon civilized man. As I mentioned back in February, I was hoping it was just a fad. Unfortunately, it has shown a regrettable unwillingness to wither and die as it should.
In the meantime, I have been searching for more courageous people to speak up on behalf of we more fully evolved sorts. The Curmudgeon Society Generale, despite fierce lobbying on my part, hasn't taken up the cause.
Well, I've found the definitive movie moment that should give pause to followers of this odious practice. In a scene from To Have and Have Not, Bogey, just back from a few arduous days on the high seas, moves in to embrace and kiss Lauren Bacall. Looking at his scraggly appearance, she stops him and says: "Why don't you shave for me and we'll try it again?"
Classy lady.
