A married man George was visiting his secret girlfriend when she requested he shave his beard.
“Oh George, I like your beard, but I would really like to see your handsome face .” She said
George replied, “My wife loves this beard, I couldn’t possibly do it, she would kill me!”
“Oh please? The girlfriend asked again, in a sexy little voice.
“Really, I can’t”, He replies. “my wife loves this beard!”
The girlfriend asks once more time and he sighs and finally gives in.
