Beards are funny things. I mean yeah sure I mean they make people like me look like Military beasts (or as some of my friends would also attest - Aragon) I decided to go for the slick Bond look yesterday. I mean I didn't want to frighten the barber with my military beastic aura of fear.

Unfortunately I forgot that my beard (as I often tell people but people dont believe me) is a semi sentient being on its own. Think of it as a sort of living weapon. Even if it wasnt living, all you had to do was to run your hand through my beard, and it would sandpaper your skin right off.


Conveniently forgetting about its offensive capabilities, I let my guard down when I was shaving. And as I did let my guard down, a rogue beard hair decided to attack ME. Thats right. It lodged itself into my skin inbetween my fingernail. The only thing I could say was "ouch!"
The bleeding in the picture just exaggerates things. Of course with a little bit of patience, I managed to get that stupid little beard hair out of my finger. Well I used tweezers too, patience alone wouldnt have solved the problem - it would have just made my nail grow marginally longer.


Of course, this got me thinking, what else would potentially lodge itself in someones fingernail? I wanted to share this with you guys just to make sure no one out there gets hurt, so yeah watch out for the following items for your own personal safety:-
