As a beard wearing squirrel, I am a little offended by this obvious stereotype likely to get many goatee/beard wearing Canucks into a lot of trouble by carrying out random acts of kindness like we are prone to do.
The funny thing about this is that if you have a beard and ever need to talk on your mobile phone in public, you will probably be shot by the Met, before any Chav manages to mug you.
