    I heard they throw delousing powder on you before you are hired at UPS. You also have to wear there uniform while you sleep or you get fired.

    I once asked,during a company meeting..Why some of the women weren't required to wear
    beard nets like the rest of us??
    Half the room laughed their heads off,but the hairy knuckled women didn't think I was funny.
    Who knew??What a tough crowd..
    Im currently growing on an Abe Lincoln beard .Im soo smooth :biggrin_25525:

    I love my beard. I keep it trimmed relatively short though. Usually around 1/4-1/2 inch with clean neck line. It would take a #### good job offer for me to even consider shaving it.

    The Sikhs have staked a pretty big claim in the San Joaquin Valley. Noticed a few have run for public office.

    So what do you do if your beard sucks thin and patchy? Grow it anyway or do you get a pass to shave?

    They're pretty good people too. I used to work for a Sikh years ago. One of the fairest people I've ever come in contact with.

    You'd think UPS would make them run a comb through it once in a while.......

    Even I have a beard and do not want to cut it off.

    Plenty of immigrants, I just trained a Morrocan.

    As for beards, im growing my beard back out, complete with natural split in the middle. Keep it looking neat, no one will care. They are somewhat back in style anyway.
