I don't know, these two sound pretty believable. 

I agree.  Particularly the PowerPoint one:  "I'll tell you anything, just make it stop!!!"  :crybaby:

Ok so if we are fighting zombies....you know the Zombie Apocalypse I have been predicting, then do we need to shave?  >

I'm thinking shaving is the last thing on my mind.

Shave/no shave would certainly help with IFF...hard question to answer really

Shaving is waaaaay overrated.  There's a whole extra two minutes in my rack every morning because I don't bother with such silliness.  It was the Romans who invented shaving and look how they turned out!

The Vikings did OK.  Many blue eyes in Europe are proof of that!

So did the Amazons.

But heck, who needs beards to win and kick ass when you're a girl (and we always win!)?  ;D

Add a baseball cap and you'd be unstoppable...

The baseball hat alone will not make you unstoppable, but if you add an Airborne Regiment t-shirt the war would have ended back in 2002! 8)

A PPCLI Tshirt renders the wearer invulnerable and impervious to all manner of nasty things, including assaults by RCN pers.
