Line 7:
Men of the maritime or naval business, especially [[Father Neptune|the more experienced ones]], will usually grow beards. It's more an issue of practicality- shaving requires fresh water, and you have to conserve this on a ship. But in any case it is one way to tell that a character is a real [[Father Neptune]].
 
For [[Pirate]] [[The Captain|Captains]], a prominent beard is so obligatory that you have a high probability of [[Captain Color Beard|being named after it]]. [[Real Life]] [[Trope Maker|gave us]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackbeard Blackbeard] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oru<!-- C3A7_Reis%C3%A7_Reis Redbeard]], and fiction has responded with [[{{Blackadder}}Black Adder|Redbeard Rum]] (see right), [[OnePieceOne Piece|Whitebeard]], [[Yellowbeard (Film/{{)|Yellowbeard}}]], [[{{Futurama}} |Purplebeard]]... everything but [[Bluebeard (Literature/{{)|Bluebeard}}]], which was already taken by a non-pirate. -->
 
Any character sporting this is guaranteed to [[Talk Like a Pirate]]. [[Techno Babble|Something about the way the densely packed follicles baffle the sound waves...]] Combine with [[Beard of Barbarism]] for pirates.
