Title: Armpit hair !!..What is that all about ?
Post by: neilep on 27/01/2007 20:54:07: dearest peeps of hirsute luff and wig wearing luff,

Arms are great because they join at the shoulder and leave ewe with two arm pits for deliinquent insects and gerbils to play in !!..but why the hair ?

I am sooooooo pleased that girlies (but not a lot of fräuleins )shave their arm pit hair off !..Thank ewe girlies for doing this !!

but what of arm pit hair !! ?...it's a throw back yes?

Is it like head hair ?..pubic hair ?..arse crack hair ?..nose hair ?..chest hair..back hair ? leg and arm hair ?

What does it do ?

LOL ( Seriously) LOL Or perhaps attract them depending on your pheromones. I say like all hair it acts as a filter to protect your body from foreign contaminants so to speak!
