Beard or No Beard......
No, no, don't be silly, Larry! It's not the feact that you're married that made you feel transparent! It's that you don't use proper capitalization and syntax, so people assumed you were an oversexed 14-year old!

But in all seriousness, being married doesn't make one transparent (and by that I assume you mean invisible?). To some people, it's just more of a challenge.

Beards are optional.

A heart attack at 20? It may have skipped a beat or two, though I've seen hotter. Still, I'll have to wear my leather jacket more often...

If you and Melihop ever mated, I would fear greatly for the ability of your children to properly express themselves.

I agree completely (sorry Mel, though in your defense Mr. Soon-to-be-added-to-my-ignore-list is much much worse than you)!

No, no, NO! I've been happily married for 20 years to a guy who (when wearing his roundish wire rims and without his beard) looked EXACTLY like Gary Bergoff, aka Radar O'Reilly of M*A*S*H fame. I chased him until he caught me.

It's not the beard....it's the glasses.

My dear, I've edited enough of your essays to know that you cannot type very well, ever.
