My friend was a Software Engineer for a major defense company.
Well, he left to work at Paradigm Games and like many people there, let his hair and beard grow.
He told me the other day that his grandma has been ill in the hospital and he flew home to see her for the first time since abandoning the corporate look. He got to the hospital just a few minutes before the end of visiting hours and she was already asleep.

Two actors who haven't seen each other in several weeks run into each other on the street.
1st actor: Haven't seen you in a while. How's everything going?
2nd actor: Pretty good. Two weeks ago I got a call from a lawyer in Florida. It seems I had an aunt that I never knew about that died and left me $2,000,000.
#1: That's great!
#2: Yeah. And then last week I hit the lottery and won $7,000,000.
#1: Wow, that's wonderful!
#2: Yeah, but this week, nothing!
