As part of my Halloween costume this weekend, I had to shave. I said to someone that I was worried to do so, because of a long-standing theory that my beard holds all my powers. She thought I was joking, which I mostly was. However, in the three days since then, I have been constantly losing or forgetting things, culminating in yesterday's locking of my car keys in my trunk (conveniently timed for when I was supposed to be driving someone else somewhere and in the middle of a huge downpour for which I hadn't brought my umbrella).
Beard better grow back fast.

that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
