A couple weeks ago on Twitter, the mighty Vaguery<\/a><\/b> sayeth: “@mcburton<\/a> Alas, the unsuspecting coder at the edge of the pack doesn’t realize a Business Development Consultant is lurking in the corner\u2026”<\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

To which there was the reply from the wily mcburton<\/a><\/b>: <\/span> “@Vaguery<\/a> my beard will protect me”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That prompted me to remember a conversation that came up at a party while talking to a bearded fellow about how our beards may relegate us to a certain class in society.<\/p>\n

On Twitter\/Facebook, I asked: <\/b><\/span> <\/span> How many political or business leaders do you know of that have beards?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1st reply: libbyh<\/a><\/b> <\/span> : @dcooney<\/a> bill richardson and al gore sported beards. abe lincoln, of course \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From the photos I looked up, I think Al looks fine with the beard. <\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>
Replied: <\/span><\/span>@libbyh<\/a> those are good ones. There are a few academic + business types, such as John Seely Brown or Vint Cerf, but they don’t really count.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

next:
billmerrill<\/a><\/b> <\/span>@dcooney<\/a> don’t forget @homelessdave<\/a> \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
