Facial Hair And Androcles...

Season 8 Episode 9: Two Girls For Every Boyd
Airdate:
November 23 1989
Sam comes in late and forgot to shave so Rebecca bugs him and he thinks Rebecca finds it sexy.

Cliff knows all about the attraction to Facial Hair.


Sammy, say you know you shouldn't be so surprised there you know. Women can't really resist a thick crop of jaw hair. It goes back to... it goes back to Androcles.
(Norm: "Now wait a second, wasn't that Androcles the guy who pulled the thorn out of a lions paw?")
That's what he told his wife when she found the scratches on his back huh. I'm telling you guys, babes and beards.


The truth:

We checked a bushel of surveys and found that women indeed do seem to like Facial Hair.

Androcles, a Christian flees persecution in Rome and hides in a cave. A lion enters the cave and Androcles pulls a thorn from it's paw. Later he is captured by Caesar's men and is sent to the Colosseum to face the lions. Androcles enters the ring to be sacrificed but is recognized and warmly received by the lion that he had helped so the governor of the town, marveling at such gratitude and fidelity in a beast, decreed that both should receive their freedom.
