Some social pecking orders have a way of falling into place. As a kid, there were always very specific seats you sat in on the school bus. In the office, the more important executives are rewarded with corner offices. And when it comes to determining your standing in the Grand Bear High Priesthood at your local gay pub, your immediate rank is determined by the size of your beard.
If your face resembles a haphazardly assembled pile of pubic hair created at short notice, expect to be excluded from the inner circle and treated with extreme disdain.
On the other hand, if that that hairy bastard on your chin looks like an effective toilet bowl cleaner, you’ll be elevated to the upper echelons of the gay community (after everyone else is done with using your face as a toilet bowl cleaner, anyway – you don’t want to know what goes on in Grand Bear High Priesthood initiation ceremonies).
