Reason 130

Your beard. By my estimation, Jason, you have been on hiatus from HIMYM for about a week now, which means you have started to cultivate a fairly nice tuft of chin hair. You have mentioned in several interviews that you prefer to stop shaving once it is no longer required by your job and, as your friend, I'd whole-heartedly support your proclivity for facial hair. I'd be a hypocrite not to since I, like all sane women out there, only shave my legs regularly when clothing and weather dictate it. Besides, I bet you aren't easily recognized when rockin' the ZZ Top look and the less you get stalked by insane fans and paparazzi, the better. Sadly, you will start shooting a movie in New Orleans soon and a clean-shaven face is probably required for the role. Even a few weeks of ignoring a razor, though, will cut back on the 3350 hours, or nearly 140 days, of shaving time you'll amass in your lifetime. Just think of all the activities you could squeeze into your already packed schedule if you never had to shave again. Sure, you'd end up looking like a taller, saner Joaquin Pheonix, but you'd also have the time to join me for all the fabulous activities I have mentioned in my blog entries. Seems worth it to me, Jason.
