Comfort in Beards

(The Editor, "Smad.")

If for any reason your columns take exception to personal misrepresentation in any way-I have just casue to believe they do-might I draw your attention to the fact that my beard has been done a very grave injustics by some cruel being? To my mind it is a comfort past description.

Again, mention is made of my having sworn eternal celibacy. Punk! Someone thinks the world of my beard: that is why I grow it.

"Poor Someone!" you'll no doubt say. Not at all! "The greatest conqueror is he who conquers himself."

Para servir a Dios y vds.
