anal hair?

what is the point of it??

you think a monkey upon evolving thought: 'i know, ill develop lots of hair round my anus to collect a few things up and just generally get in the way'?

or:

'the creator' said: 'it cant all be niceness and smiles, im gonna give ye little bastards hair in all the places you dont want it as a constant reminder that you are inferior to my all seeing, all knowing, world creating, hairless, self'

- i hope either of those arent too politcally incorrect.

Well you know how the inside of your thighs is quite smooth and hairless compared to the rest of your body? That's because of friction. I'd guess that anal hair is due to a lack of friction.

Unfortunately not...
friction eh. theres no friction on my forehead, so why isnt that hairy?

Not mine, my thighs have a fair covering of hair on them compared to the rest of my body and i don't exactly have bushy legs.

Really tempted to use a comeback there, but I won't.
I did say it was just a guess, I'm not pretending to be a biologist. And anywho I'd guess that a hairy forehead thing would impede vision, and hence evolution ruled it out.

Nope no function. Then again there's no function for our appendix yet everyone has one. Just a quirk of biology.
Oh dear I sound like I know things.

It's probably a throwback to needing warmth from our hair or something.

it's not *that* bad, you doo shower/bath regularly i presume?
The hair is probably there to make it less appealing to people wanting to put stuff in that hole.

Ha you make it sound so intellectual! It sounds like the kind of thing that comes up in a drunken conversation when watching jackass
