facial hair
Dec. 5th, 2004 10:40 amDuring the conversation the other night with the Norwegians, both of whom are having trouble getting jobs now that they've finished university (Andreas is an electronic engineer; Gunnar a computer scientist / software engineer), I mentioned that Dave hadn't shaved in a while.
"Oh, yes," they both said, highly amused, "the unemployment beard. We're growing them too."
So Dave's policy of not shaving has become more official now that it has a name. "The unemployment beard," he said reflectively, rubbing it and looking in the mirror. "Hmm..."
Now it's a race between two factors: Will he shave it off when it gets itchy like usual, or will he shave it off in honor of getting off his ass and finding a job?
Stay tuned, folks! The suspense is terrible!
