Pros and Cons of Having a Goatee

Pros and Cons of Having a Goatee


I recently parlayed some Halloween costume facial hair into “the real deal.” Here are my findings:

Pros:

– I look like I work sheet metal. Those guys make serious coin.

– When I look in the mirror, I think “Here’s a guy that won’t B.S. ya one bit!”

– I look sorta look like an MLB pitcher.

– That snobby liberal arts degree never saw this coming!

– When I got into a loud argument with my friend Bryan yesterday, I kept thinking to myself: “He’s having an argument with a guy who has a goatee.”

– My mouth has never been so well framed.

– Leo DiCaprio and Ed Norton rock ’em.

– Am I stronger now? Possibly.

Cons:

– When food gets caught in a beard, it’s silly. When it gets caught in a goatee, it seems like the goateed party should have been responsible enough to prevent it. He’s diligent about grooming, after all.

– Feel my family’s deep white trashiness coursing through my veins.

– It’s workmanlike, yes. But there are also shades of perviness.

– Evil, bizarre-o world replicons are always goateed.

– It’s sure as sugar not getting me laid anytime soon.

– Kid Rock and Guy Fieri also rock ’em.

– Am I a divorced dad holding on to shreds of my youth via a rebellious goatee? Possibly.
