X: Close Shave

Today I was two blocks from home when I realized I forgot to shave. It probably sounds vain, but I just didn't feel right about going to work unshaven. So I hung a U, zipped the Rover back into its usual parking spot, and jogged back into my apartment to shave. Off came my trousers and out came the Norelco. Weak, I know, but I rationalized to myself that I just didn't have time to lather up and go with the blade. I'm posting this from work, and I must say I feel much better. Kenny says the girls in accounting wouldn't have noticed the stubble under my cargo pants, but I'm quite sure they would have sensed it. Besides, tonight I'm going straight to master's after sweaty yoga, and what if Tiffani has signed up to swim again this session? To show up stubbly would not be cool. - Racer X
