#3 Anyway, I seem to remember that beards are a big no-no in standard armed forces, since they interfere with gas mask and the likes, as illustrated here. Plus this guy clearly keeps it because he's a fundie, and a proselyter as well.

The devout don't need no stinkin' oxygen.
Yeah, allan will take care of that if you're holy enough. It's written in the koran(tm), somewhere.

#5 I thought pak wimmen had mustachios. It's the men who sport beards, while the kiddies have goatees, usually.

#8 I thought it was a knot in the beard. Or perhaps he has some kind of malformed furry siamese twin attached to his chest, who knows?

#9 "you can keep the beard, we'll just have to do a tracheotomy"

I'll take "stupid islamic scholars" for $500, Alex. Wonder if they let the firefighters wear long beards - same problems with face masks

#10 Also, for ground support personal, long beards can get caught in the jet turbines. Makes a mess and it takes a while and a lot of money to fix the engine.

#11 Oh yes, let the fundies keep their beards and play with chemical weapons at the same time. The face seal on any protective mask is dependent on contact with skin. If Pakis want to enforce the no-beards rule, make the fundies do daily tours of a CS gas training facility with their beards and masks, and make them go into the live gas room each time.

#13 Skid, been/done that

It is even funnier when some 'tard goes in there after they forgot to put filters in the M-17.
