Looking sharp young man. Grew a beard when I went camping. I was about 25 at the time. For some reason it never got shaved off. That was almost 50 years ago.
Yes, I am a young 78.

I had a beard when I met my wife in 1974. Except it was black then. And I had a beard for years after.

Then one year I got tired of the beard and wanted to see what was underneath.

So I shaved one half of my face. I went to Mary and turned one half of my face towards her, the half with the beard and said, With? Then turned the other side and asked, Without? With? Or Without? I thought it was funny. Mary did not.
