To be fair, if you confronted by man pelt, do you really want to get your mouth bits all up in that either?

Isn't it a little mean to call women 'bedbugs'?

That's two things Robin Williams and I have in common: excessive man hair and being Episcopalians.

/Oh, wait, we're both men so that's three!

I've said for years that my body hair is an effective insect repellent/warning system. I've only had one tick ever attach to me (on a hairless spot on my hip) and mosquitoes rarely get a meal before I squash them. I appreciate my tiny little sensors.

Does this mean that 70s style bush is going to make a comeback?

Thank god for that. All the hair on my head migrated to my back years ago. I quite like being hairy, mind you. It's something else for the ladies to get a hold of.

Some of us like the hairy men. You know, within reason.

I've managed to catch flies that have gotten caught in my arm or leg hair, too.

Lord Invader - Reincarnation (Bed bug song)

biting a man, i might break my teeth
to a bedbug men skin's harder than concrete
and when a bug bite a man the result is bad
men have too much hair, and their legs are too hard
