Pride & Prejudice & Unwanted Facial Hair
“IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” (Pride & Prejudice)
I felt the need to create my own, potentially universally acknowledged truisms, in the manner of Jane Austen.
I shall present one each day this week. I do hope you appreciate them, gentle reader, and I further hope that you would feel compelled in turn to offer up your own truism in the comment area.

Don’t do it! Don’t look. You don’t have your tweezers anyway.
Here is the first:
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that when one gazes into the bathroom mirror, one cannot see all the tell-tale errant hairs of one’s girlstache; however, one will see them while gazing upon oneself in the automobile mirror, paused at a stoplight, when one does not have a pair of tweezers handy.
~Thanks!
