    seriously what is the deal here people...

    i go a few days without shaving and a nice black beard grows...
    i wait a few more days and all of a sudden its ginger? overnight it goes red!!!

    what is this???

    does it mean...*shudders* im one of them?

    should i just resign to a life of pity and scorn by strangers? where one time friends avoid me and are humuliated by my company...

    or should i make sure to shave every day to hide my secret shame??

    Are you Irish?
    Lots of even dark haired Irish guys get red facial hair!
    My father has jet black hair, but still gets red facial hair.
    Mystery!

    Be afraid OP, next step will be you'll wake up some morn to discover you've
    mutated and sprouted ginger pubes. Suicide might be your best and only
    option to circumvent a life of shame and embarrassment.

    You're father is wise, he probably had an episode similar to yours in his youth but has lived through it and took my advice never to speak of it again too, a wise wise man - so there is hope for you yet! :D

    dammit but its crossed my mind...

    perhaps ginger was in your family a couple of generations back and now its back to haunt you with a vengence!:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    I get a tiny bit of ginger in my beard when it grows into anything past stubble. Even though it's only a color, I actually felt a pang of horror when I first discovered it. I also have a white patch, that grows that way after I got a deep cut on my face. So a variety of colors in my facial hair.

    Same here. Theres absolutely no ginger in the family at all but I get some after a few days of stubble, as well as some white.

    Is your milkman called 'Pat Mustard' by any chance ??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,025 ✭✭✭muboop1


    looked into this... my milkman has blonde hair... post man is black haired...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 330 ✭✭irishpartyboy


    get the black shoe polish out from the under the sink, its your only man.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 51 ✭✭CrazyPolly


    It happens all men...seriously, ALL men. Every boy I've ever known, whether they have blonde, brown or black hair....they all get ginger beards when it grows a certain length...

    I have a theory though...I reckon it's a survival mechanism; Women find facial hair gross, so it turns ginger after a while so men will shave it out of sheer embarrassment and they can attract the ladies again, spread the seed etc.

    It's punishment for taking the piss out of people with ginger hair.

    Now you can't slag thm for having ginger pubes, because you have them too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101


    While talking to a ginge

    "Can you read?"

    "Of course I can"

    "Have you read pubes?"

    Oh, we (and by we, i mean all gingers...yes, i'm one too) have heard that one before. And any (and i mean ANY) other joke that you might think is new or even slightly funny. As for a beard, i'm not a fan. I already get enough piss taken out of me for the red hair on my head, without adding more insult to injury.

    Redheads have been facing extinction for thousands of years already.
    As a result their sex drives have been come so highly reved, that they are gladitors in the sack compared to those of strictly homosapien orgin.
    Your body in all its pent up frustration had manifested a lure for these redheads, it is hoping that the prospect of procreating the species will draw unsuspecting titan vixen for miles.

    Ginger beards are where its at.

    I have black hair, blacker n'tar, all over me.

    But my beard is ginger.

    I worked with this dude once who asked me one day If I died my hair cos my beard was ginger, I said yes, yes I die all of the rest of my hair black, All over me, but I leave the beard ginger to confuse you.

    Bless.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭JIZZLORD

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    You must of been bitten by a daywalker.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,452 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    As Irishmen, many of us have to suffer with ginger beards. Sadly, I too carry the curse.
