The Tokyo company where I worked had a department that handled sales in the Arab world. A number of Japanese salarymen in that department sported facial hair--extremely unusual at such an ultra-conservative, old-style Japanese company. When I complimented them on their individualistic look, they shook their heads and explained:

 

"In our sales territory, clean-shaven men are considered homosexuals. Therefore, we must grow beards for the company's sake."

 

What a world.
