Wow....after 5 years or so of having a beard, I have finally received the one thing I've been looking for.....and I have George W. Bush to thank.
A beard & moustache trimmer.
Every year, in December and May, you see commercials saying how the perfect gift for dad is a Beard & Moustache trimmer. Every year, I have waited for this gift. NO ONE has ever even bothered to think about getting me one.
On a personal level, I value those 'perfect' gifts more than just saying "hey, get me ..... for xmas". I don't even want to drop hints. I want to recieve that gift from someone who actually knows me and puts thought into it. And I'm the same way when giving (when I actually do give). I try and try to think of what would be perfect for that person. No just something they need.....what means something.
So seeing as how for about 5 years I've had some form of a beard, I've never been given an actual beard and moustache trimmer.
So how does Dubya fit into this?
Well my brother came home for two days last week, and as he was leaving again, my mom caught him leaving with the hair trimmer I had been using. He said my dad called and told him to bring it (my dad didn't know I used it on my beard) so he would have it when they went to Iraq. Consequently, my mom bought me a B&M trimmer so I would have something and wouldn't look too scraggly.
Therefore, b/c W. has that little beef with Saddam Hussein, I get a Beard & Moustache trimmer.
Thank you Dubya.........you still don't have my vote.....but you have my gratitude.
