watchtower 1954 p.511 "why do watchtower publications now show jesus with short hair and no beard?

watchtower 1968 p.286 "bible evidence and a recent review shows that jesus did have a beard..." charles russell style of beard was popular at bethel...till rutherford took over.
During the initial part of a long conversation with an elder/substitute circuit overseer about beards, I got him to admit that it would be a spiritually "weak" person who would be stumbled by a brother with a beard.

All I could do was smile.

blonde jokes.. two blondes went to the pound where each adopted a puppy.
the joy of their new best friend was quickly overshadowed when they got home and the first blonde said, "i think we're in trouble, how are we going to tell them apart?
" this lead to several hours of concentration until finally, the second blonde said, "i've got an idea.
My blonde wife uses these two jokes when some guy starts telling blonde jokes:
Wife - "So, how do you get a blonde girl pregnant?"
Guy - "I, uh, uh um, I don't know?" (they never answer.)
Wife - "Wow! And I thought blondes were supposed to be stupid!"
Second:
