My grandad used to make jokes about how his stubble was the "hedgehog", my other grandads short, bristly beard was the "broom" and great-grandads long white beard was the "mop".
A few years ago i asked my parents and it turned out my great-grandad didnt have a beard.
I guess it was such a good joke...
