On a stormy September night in Hallsville, Texas, 19 cows are killed when lightning struck the tree they were standing under. Moooooooo If the average man never trimmed his beard, it would grow to nearly 30 feet long in his lifetime! Azalea, the smoking chimpanzee of North Korea's Pyongyang Central Zoo, puffs about a pack a day.

My beard would probably only make it to 3 feet, and it would still be spotty.

How did Azalea get into smoking in the first place? Azalea must be getting lung cancer by now for sure.

Sorry…. I do NOT believe it about the beards.
Each type or area of hair on our bodies, just like each section of fur on other mammals,
gets a signal from our genes to stop growing.
Eyelashes, arm hair and eyebrows don’t get long enough to braid.
They may grow at the average human rate of 1/2 inch per month….
but go dormant or fall out when they reach their genetically determined length…
as do head and beard hairs.
Plenty of men all over the world never trim their beards….
but I don’t think one has ever reached 20 feet long, much less 30.

When I had a beard, I never trimmed it and it never got longer than a few inches. Same for the goatee I have now.

The Marlboro Chimp. Who is paying for the chimp’s habit anyway? Does he keep a pack rolled up in his sleeve? Who lights them? By chance, is his name is Zippo.

FYI — it’s spelled LIGHTNING not LIGHTING.

Under normal circumstances it couldn’t stay that long too many things would ‘trim’ it over time.
