Ha, who needs "Washboard Abs"? I've got "WashTUB" abs. I like the sleek well rounded look. The only decoration I ever affected was a small ear-ring, which I removed a few years ago when it became clear that I looked more like a rebellious accountant than a Pirate.

As far as personal vanity goes, you kind of have to be careful. It's been said of Joan Rivers that if she has one more facelift she'll have a beard! Me? I cut my beard off about ten years ago when it looked like I was gonna have one of those "Two-tone heads"...Brown hair and white beard. Not vanity, I just figured I was too immature for white "anything" yet.
