More on merkins

Zach: Today, I noticed you mentioned merkins, and I have a merkin story. I will have to share it with you at some point.

Me: Stalker. Tell me the story!

Zach: My friend Matt and I, after making a beard from regular hair, decided nothing would be cooler than to make a merkin. Merkins are made from pubes right?

Me: They're not made FROM pubes. They're made to put over pubes.

Zach: What?! I thought they were wigs made out of pubes. Why the hell would you want to make a wig to put over your pubes? [Ed note: Why the hell would you want a wig made out of pubes?]

Me: Back in the day, people used to get lice all the time and they'd have to shave off their hair. It wasn't considered dignified to be shaved, so people would have merkins made to give the illusion of pubic hair.

Zach: Okay, well then we made something entirely different. Wow... the light a good definition can shine on something.
