I don't think any of us are particularly enamored of it, but just commenting 
that it is a trait among some of the old lines. Well, Edd and Luther is 
saying now that's not true.
Anyway, I think it is a primitive trait. In reading the book, The Great Arc 
of the Wild Sheep, one of the first things I noticed was that beard on some 
of the wild sheep.
