Why didn't any of you people warn me that shit like this was going to happen?

I did the "big clean" today.

No quick shower today. Today was the equivalent of a meticulous auto detailing.

Floss, mouthwash, brush with gum health toothpaste, brush with whitening toothpaste, tongue scrape, eyebrows, nose hairs, ear hairs, sideburns. shower with moisturizer, shower with Old Spice Body Wash, shampoo, hair conditioner. deodorant, cologne, foot powder, fresh change of clothes.

That was this morning.

Just now, after using the bathroom, I glanced at the mirror while washing my hands. There was a huge thick white hair coming out of my left nostril that was so long that it was laying over my upper lip, so it must have been maybe an inch and a quarter long.

Just like that, out of nowhere.

It just sprouted and grew over an inch in about 8 hours.

Just like that.

The ingrown ones are probably why I get the odd pimple in a nostril.

And yeah, plucking nose hairs can bring tears to the eyes of a grown man, when they're anchored to the bone...

talking to me and I wouldn't hear a freakin' word he said! I'm thinking, "my God man, can't you see that in the mirror?" I was tempted to just reach out and yank it right out for him. LOL

I used to shave her. She was 100% Italian. Both her parents were off the boat.

She would get an excess of hair on her face as she grew older into her 90s.

It was like a big celebration:

READY FOR YOUR SHAVE, MA????

After I lawn mow my "manly" chest, a few mutants emerge just as soon as I whip a shirt on, as if they were periscopes or something.

The hair on your head starts receding, and its got to go SOMEWHERE! So it finds its way out your ears and nose.
Science.

People frequently tell me that I smell good. Must be due to the Old Spice.

Please don't make me give up the thing that causes the only compliment that I ever receive.
