Click to expand... A 'whisker' is a single facial hair. A 'beard' consists of many whiskers. A 'whisker' is what every young boy dreams of having. A 'beard' is what every man has at least once in his life. Do you have whiskers, belly_ttt? Or do you have a beard? ;-) Cheers, Amigos4

Gabby Hayes had whiskers; Lenin had a beard. ;-)
