It seems every time I sit down to write one of these Blog entries I always hear the voice of Andy Rooney from 60 Minutes in my head.  As I decide what to write about I hear his cantankerous whiney voice asking some rhetorical question about whatever topic I’m about to write about.  “Did you ever wonder why they do not make a clip to hold paperclips together?” or “Why is it that when you see heavyset people in Northern cities they look normal but when you see then in Southern cities they look out of place?”

Whenever I hear that curmudgeon Andy Rooney voice in my head, I use that as the indicator that my topic might not really be interesting enough to pursue.

 I want to go back and read my last entry in Andy Rooney’s voice now.  As long as I can remember he has always looked and sounded old. His got those scary bushy eyebrows that I would get if my wife did not keep on me to trim them.     It really is not fair that the hair on my head is so damn thin, yet the stuff grows in like crazy elsewhere else.

Sometime when I was about 30 I noticed I was growing these long ear hairs.  They would seemingly sprout up overnight. One day nothing and the next this inch long thing growing out of my ear lobe. Nose hair, back hair, butt hair… how much longer do I have to wait till evolution phases this stuff out.  You see old men walking around with these massive tufts of hair growing out of places that it just ought not to and the evil twist is that the oddly located body hair does not really start growing out of control until your vision goes bad enough that you can not see the stuff to trim it off in the mirror.

I saw recently that there is now a men’s shaver that states it is made to ‘Trim and shave all body zones - Not for use above the neck’.  Here is a link to the actual ad for this product   http://www.shaveeverywhere.com/   this is not a joke, this is the REAL AD!!!!

The only thing scarier then the ad is reading the customers reviews of it on Amazon with comments like “This device is excellent to remove body hair in delicate areas without having to sweat bullets while doing it. It's perfect for removing pubic hair, perianal hair, leg hair, chest hair, etc., many of which I have been shaving and buzzing for over a decade using vastly inferior devices…” or   “ The skin irritation was limited to the inner thighs… Shaft, Beanbag, and Starfish showed no signs of irritation”.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/B000EG8HLE/ref=cm_cr_dp_2_1/102-9712050-0633721?%5Fencoding=UTF8&customer-reviews.sort%5Fby=-SubmissionDate&n=3760901  

 
Now that I’m thinking about all this, I guess it is OK to post this blog since I really cannot imagine Andy Rooney’s voice in my head talking about the shaft, beanbag or starfish.
