I have longer than average hair, so every once in a while when I go to the restroom in a bar, restaurant, or other public place, some moron whose breath is so saturated with alcohol that it could be compressed and used as rocket fuel will stop me and say, "Hey, aren’t you in the wrong restroom?" I’ve tried to avoid this problem by always using one of the wall urinals.
I don’t want to get graphic, but you women know that you don’t usually stand, which is why your restrooms (based on what I’ve been told) don’t have wall urinals. I still get the same question. I have no idea how to deal with this. I’ve thought about growing a beard, but this presents a lot of problems of its own. When I was five, I asked my mother if I could grow a beard. She said, "Go right ahead." It didn’t take me long to figure out that I couldn’t. More than two decades later, I still can’t. If I tried, I’d have five or six whiskers that would grow, and the rest would sprout and not grow anymore. In other words, I’d soon look like I’d joined the Hair Club for Catfish.
Some guys have no trouble growing beards. I had a roommate in college who could go to the bathroom down the hall, shave, and by the time he got back to room he’d have a five o’clock shadow. Why do they call it a five o’clock shadow, anyway? It’s probably because that’s when guys get off from work, but that’s a boring explanation. Someone should fund a research project to define what exactly a five o’clock shadow is. Is that five o’clock in the summer or winter? And does Daylight Savings Time come into it? If so, what do guys in Indiana have? If a light growth is a five o’clock shadow, is a full beard midnight? If a guy is trying to grow a beard and someone asks him how it’s progressing, could he say something like, "It’s about a quarter to seven"? Why is it called a shadow, anyway? Maybe it’s because saying "a light dusting" sounds like something you get in a powder room, and guys don’t go to the powder room. But speaking of powder rooms, the next time some idiot asks me if I’m in the wrong restroom, I think I’ll say, "No, but I think you are."
Enjoy this week’s offerings.
