well, paleontologists say we’re descended from apes which do have fur all over the body

Muffin is right.

Well we do have fur …… we just cut most of it off :-)

Does a hairy back count?

I look in the mirror and wonder what the hell happened

Cats believe that their fur makes them look thinner… hate to have to break it to them…

not bad, however, it would be offset by having to clean, trim and other expenses in maintenance…

I’m not fat…….. I’m just FLUFFY.

I’m 65 years old. People tell me I look like I’m 55. I tell them I feel like I’m 75. I wish it was the other way around.

Ugh! Grooming takes hours licking fur, then there’s furballs….LOL

I feel the way I look. Depression and insomnia can do that, even when you treat both.

I have it all over ! Does anyone have a banana?

I wish cats would KEEP it all over their bodies. 10 minutes after I’ve cleaned the house it still looks like a shed-storm hit.

Some of us as we age sadly do. And it ain’t pretty

“Mirror, mirror on the wall…”

Every time I look in the mirror I see my mother.

And I disagree with Opal. I look exactly how I feel: old and sore.

Not any paleontologists of note. Humans are a completely different species. That’s why there is no “missing link.”

How you look and how you feel are usually two very different things … although I recall some mornings looking, bleary-eyed into the mirror and thinking that I looked just as bad as I felt.

I have a year round sweater. ;-}

The more hair the better as far as I am concerned.

Fur covers a heap of ugly.

I remember going into a strip club and thinking, “She’d be cute with clothes on.”

She looked at me and thought, “Another pig.”

Words of wisdom from Muffin.

I’m folliclely challenged.

If we descended from apes, why are there still apes?

My ears are outpacing my scalp in developing and maintaining fur.

Its pretty much a dog

And furries were born.

What about grooming? Will we be able to hire groomers to lick our fur, particularly our backs, our hard to reach places, our cracks and our crevices, etc.? Where will we put the fur balls? Our landfills are already overwhelmed. Can we launch rockets loaded with nuclear waste, cushioned by fur balls, to the sun? Will the government subsidize the cost of fur-licking? Will the lickers be paid as law enforcement is paid or will they come under a special Medicare program? Lots of questions that need answers NOW! Will CEOs who want favorable treatment lick vulnerable legislators’, officials’, and bureaucrats’ backs, etc.? What about lobbyists, used-car & siding salesmen, conservative talk-radio hosts, and lawyers? Will they finally become our nation’s untouchables, as they should? How will they survive, assuming anyone who matters gives a damn whether or not they survive? God, ANOTHER problem for our Democracy to wrestle with. Give us strength, O Lord, give us strength!

Maybe that’s how the whole beard fad got started!

I love being old. Any experience is worth a whirl.
