From man to monkey
I find it really intriguing, that the older you get, the more you look like a monkey. Apparently all the hair that disappears at the top of your head, grows back on other places. And not the places you’d like it to grow. The beard gets broader, hair starts to grow on your back and shoulders, your ears get hairy, it grows out of your nose, your eyebrows get huger by the day… Man! It costs a fortune to keep yourself human! I really wonder why it works this way. I mean, what the hell do you need all that body hair for anyway? I’ve got sweaters man! Those will cover me from the cold. Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t look like a monkey yet. But it sure as hell is going that way. I’ve got me a tweezerman and waxstrips to keep me monkey-less. But it’s a time consuming job…
This makes me wonder, why all these products are aimed at women. Or do women go monkey as well? I think there is a huge market out there to de-monkey men. Buying de-monkey products is like buying booby magazines. You buy a booby magazine and some used car magazine together, to pretend you need a new car and buy the booby magazine for a “friend”. This happens with the de-monkey products as well. Because they are so feminine, men buy a feminine de-monkey product and rubbers, to pretend the de-monkey product is for their girlfriend. Hmmm, maybe that is why there are no manly de-monkey products! It boosts the sale of rubbers!
It is not something people tend to be talking about easy, the monkey transformation. But it is happening to all of us! Did you notice any really old people lately? They don’t walk around with straight backs, but they are curved. Like a monkey! So my guess is that Darwin was wrong after all: first there was man, then there was monkeys!
Very interesting idea, but such are the laws of nature and I think that this can not be helped. It remains only to use the means helped the look us as people.
