NOOO!!! My first gray hairView Messages“Such is the price of fame.” 4:01:38 PM 3/13/02 “A kind word, please, for M. Armand Gineaux whose longstanding, and continually increasing, record for Longest Nasal Hair was abruptly and rather painfully brought to a close recently. The last time his record breaking nasal hair was officially measured it was 75.32cm in length, a magnitude which M. Gineaux attributed to fresh air, a rigorous regime of nasal strengthening exercises, and a diet featuring at least one bulb of garlic with every meal. At the time of the sudden termination of this acme of olfactory accessories, M. Gineaux (a garlic seller) was riding his bicycle to the market square of his home town in order to ply his trade. The hair was safely tucked up in the facial pouch specially made for the purpose (carefully coloured to blend in with M. Gineaux's full and bushy beard), but an unusually violent gust of wind caught the pouch, snapped its restraining cord, and unravelled the phenomenal fibre. Loosed from its constraint, it flapped in the breeze from M. Gineaux's passage and then wound itself up in the front wheel of the bicycle. Fortified by years of nasal workouts, the follicle did not give out but sharply pulled M. Gineaux's head forward towards the wheel, resulting in a head over heels bicycle accident which left the velocipede bent and broken, M. Gineaux with multiple injuries and a great deal of bruised garlic, but the nasal hair still attached! Unfortunately for the annals of hyperbole, the emergency services, when they arrived on the scene (using breathing equipment to approach, given the overwhelming aroma), found M. Gineaux unconscious and cut the nasal hair which was so excruciatingly linking him to the bicycle. And so the record stands, never to be held again by a certain brave, garlic-infused Frenchman (particularly since he has since decided to take up the less hazardous occupation of driving instructor).” 4:47:09 PM 3/13/02 “Now that is cool!!!!!!! I have 4 diffrent colors in my beard. red brown gray blond I always thought that was cool. 8)” 5:31:10 PM 3/13/02 “I'm balding, my beard is greying, but no one told me about those annoying nose hairs!” 11:32:19 PM 3/13/02 “You know the commercials with those 'Scrubbing Bubbles'? You know those spinning 'brushes' they cruise around on? Nose Hair! Swear to G-d! Check it out next time...” 12:07:25 AM 3/14/02 “Cockroach, at least the rest of the hair on your palms are not grey. Lol” 2:27:33 AM 3/14/02 “Hey tilt I have seen that before! 8)” 5:54:56 AM 3/14/02
