Koohii stories:

1) [astridtops] 14-8-2006(62): "Please stop and sit down to look to the painting up there", the tour guide says. "We don't know exactly who is on the painting, but from the shape of the hair and the distinctive beard, we think they meant to depict President Lincoln.".

2) [Yozora] 21-9-2009(23): A beard is hair that, instead of wanting it SHAPED like your friends, you grow it LONG so that you can STOP, SIT DOWN and scratch it thoughtful while considering this here and that there.

3) [Raichu] 7-7-2008(12): If you remember hair on the head is 髪 . But when my mother sees the state of my beard, she says, "What is this!?".

4) [Shingo] 7-9-2010(5): The hair that you shape (with your hand) when you stop and sit down is your beard.

5) [NeoGlitch] 19-1-2012(4): I was eating my soup when I saw a hairy shape in it. I stopped my spoon immediately, and yelled outraged "What's this here?!! Then the cook arrived and said: "Oh, that's my detachable beard… sorry, my bad :(" (+jabberwockychortles).
