Found one in the bath last week. At least that's what I thought it was - the plug hole had even formed it into a female-friendly shape!

Ah yes, I remember The Merkins, a good little pop group. Didn't they have a top 10 hit back in the 60s with a Beatles cover version?

Is it better to have a Merkin than a comb-over?

I was on about this t'other night, we were wondering at what age people generally notice the first grey pube and what they do about it?

Dye
Shave
Merkin

Is this the exhaustive list?

Well...

In the old Vaudeville days, ladies that performed, erm, "exotic dances", were required, by law, to not bare all. Thus the birth of the merkin as an entertainer's costume. And the material used? Beaver pelt.
