Awesome Beard

“I haven’t seen Wilson lately,” said Feldman, “Where’d he get off to?”

“Oh? You didn’t hear?” Lloyd’s raised eyebrows dug significant ridges into his forehead. “Wilson’s beard was declared a National Treasure.”

“What?” Feldman nearly dropped his coffee.

“There was a resolution passed by Congress, and a ceremony at the White House and everything.”

“How does a beard get declared a National Treasure?”

“Dude. You saw Wilson’s beard, right? It was pretty sweet, right?”

“I guess,” Feldman said reluctantly.

“So sweet the country couldn’t afford to lose it,” Lloyd said, “He’ll be back on Monday as a loan from the Smithsonian.”
