HOOK (first 3 seconds spoken):
A soldier once died in a gas attack during World War I because of his beard.

FULL SCRIPT:
A soldier once died in a gas attack during World War I because of his beard. That's because when the chlorine alarm sounded, soldiers had exactly 9 seconds to pull the masks over their faces to protect themselves from toxic gas. But his beard broke the rubber seal, letting poison leak straight through the gaps. And after enough men died the same way, the army finally banned beards permanently. And that rule is still enforced in every military
