…dude, nice fake beard…

Yeah, I know right?

Whoa really?! His beard is fake??

Why do you use a fake beard?

I don’t know… I thought it’d be cool

And because he doesn’t have that much facial hair

Wow that’s so cool!

You should try touching it!

How is that beard fake?

He really glues that beard on

every morning?

This one time, I heard people talking in the locker room about how they saw him gluing on his beard…

Is it really possible to have a fake beard…?

Oh look! The corner of his beard is pealing!

Oh my gosh! Can I see? Can I see???

No, it’s going to fall off if you play with it…

What happened to your beard???

Oh… I didn’t feel like gluing it on this morningOh..

Okay…

hehe..

Hmm…

hehe

…and this is how you find the standard deviation…

haha

So.. you don’t use your beard anymore..?

Oh, I have to order more. And then I have to trim the beard and stuff…

It looks like he has enough facial hair to grow a beard… so why does he like wearing a fake one..?

So how’s that fake beard?

Oh stop it you guys..

Don’t believe them. They’re just pulling

your leg…

What? But.. Wait..

Huh???

Yeah.. We definitely just

made that up out of nowhere…

I can’t believe you fell for it..

That became the joke of the class for the rest of senior year. Sometimes I still cannot believe that I was in an AP Statistics class, but didn’t have the common sense to tell a fake beard from a real one. I definitely learned not to be so gullible, and to observe my surroundings in order not to fall for a prank like that again. But I also learned that it’s nice to be able to give people a laugh, even if it means that I’m the center of the joke.

The End.
