Excuse me sir, your hands are very cold

Some guys rocking beards look crazy cool (see King Leonidas), others look dignified and wise (see Freud)...
I look ridiculous, menacing and ridiculous, hell forget cool, I would be happy with just looking jolly (see Santa).

Menacing and Ridiculous are NOT the first 2 things one wishes to pop, when carrying a passport that reads... "Hello my name is Sheik Riad al bin Rahman al Mustapha bin Bacchus" and a ticket to Egypt.

Ask me how many "random" body cavity searches I have been subject to?
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy having my prostate tickled as much as the next guy, just as long as it is my lovely wife, or a trained medical professional with soft hands, doing the tickling.
Something must be done!
But a simple shave won't cut it (hee hee, I am so freakin punny)...
Why? because I am also cha cha chia-Riad... with a 10 hour flight, I will go from baby's bum to bearded weirdo by the second drink cart.
No, this calls for more drastic action... this called for applying an entire, new non threatening look.

Here's hoping blonds really do have more fun!!!
