For years I've pondered this, staring at the pictures in my encyclopedia as I wonder... why are baboon's butts hairless? Was it because the great light of life created them that way? Or do their mothers nip off the hair to avoid infection?
I tried shaving my own rump, but I just got a rash and a hospital bill... help?!?

^ wrong, dead wrong. Human's butts are naturally covered in a thick and curly "carpet." It's shaved off during birth however, in a process called "Imagonnashaveyourlittlebuttocksyoupervertedlittlecreepything." It's a very time-consuming procedure.
I found this question very insightful. I've tried that too, though instead of a rash I got a stubble... itched for a bit, but I'm used to it now.

Maybe they are callused. I swear I always see them sitting on a rock or branch. Maybe God made them that way for a particular reason of some sort. I'm not going ask to why you felt the need to shave yours. lol I bet the nurses got a kick out of you. And the doctor....HA you are crazy. lol

They use them to attract mates and show respect to the alpha-male.

Probably because they sit on them all the time.
