Eyebrows

I understand why Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) has eyebrows.  But for the rest of us, they just sit there.

My eyebrows have gotten downright squirrelly over the years.  The hairs have seemingly cross-bred with corkscrews.  They twist out in all directions.  And, somewhere in more recent years, a single (long and conspicuous) hair has appeared smack in the middle of the space between my eyebrows.

This solitary hair is like a unicorn’s horn.  It grows long and straight, and grows remarkably fast.  I am forced to regularly snip this hair.

If you get all sciencey and google the reason for having eyebrows, you will find they are a sort of mini-visor intended to prevent moisture from running down into your eyes.

Fine.

What’s the purpose of a unicorn hair?
