Stroking Beard Syndrome
Why do so many scientists have beards? And why are they always stroking them?
———- from Michael Keene ofHonolulu, Hawaii
Male scientists, as a rule, are mssing that portion of the skull from the mouth down. Scientists stroke their beards to stimulate the production of the hormone “Barbisone,” an odifoerous pherome that’s the basis for the scent used in the aftershave, “Aqua Velva.” This hormone stimulates dedutive ability, giving the scientist someting to do with his hand that is not destructive to him or the rest of us. Be thankful.
