What's Up With That?

I should start naming these odd single hairs that pop up way out of the usual pattern--even the usual male pattern of hair growth. I've ranted about the one that appears low on my neck and often manages to hide from notice. There's one that's made its home on one side of my stomach, completely separate from the others. And there's one that I often forget about until the follicle wakes up from dormancy every few months, half an inch from my normal eyebrow, and thick and dark as anything. What do you think? Larry, Curly, and Moe?

I mean, I can understand (not like I am in any way admitting to liking) the errant hair follicles that sprout in a more masculine pattern on account of testosterone. They makes sense. But these random rebel strands that just pop up out of nowhere? What's their excuse?

All these manly hairs on my body are being all macho in their assigned groups: chin, chest, stomach... But one deviant hair decides, "I just want to be different!"

A beard on a lady? Fine. Logical. But Fred here, coming up on my shoulder from time to time? Now that's just weird...
