The Man Condition

As a guy gets older, they are going to suffer something quite horrible. Hairy ears. Yes, it’s a fact of life. As I was sitting with M having dinner at Fast Eddies - he shared with me a gem as we were waiting for dinner..

“I am going to order something from Danoz Direct”
“Nooo don’t do that, they’re crap!” I was gobsmacked.
“Well I need it. You know that pen thing and when you take the lid off it vibrates?” At this point I was wondering what he was talking about because the first thing I was thinking of wasn’t a pen thing…
“No, what does it do?”
“It’s a small razor.. you can cut baby’s hair with it, and do the neckline”
“oh, yes I know.. what do you want it for?”
“Well, you know how some guys get hairy ears? well I am getting hairy ears” He was looking vaguely alarmed..
*I start laughing*
“I don’t want hairy ears like my grandfather, his ears were so bad you could have a whole cornfield growing in his ears”
*more laughter*
“I am now going to take my personal hygiene about my ears VERY seriously”

I am so glad that I am a chick, and we don’t have to put up with hairy ears.
