Bearded Men Beware

I feel the need to warn all men with a beard. I'm a bearded man (at the moment) and I have become extremely concerned with an incident in Kentucky. I've been placed with the special ability to grow a beard since I was the ripe age of 14. My peers always looked up to me! However, there seems to be some men who have an extreme distaste for facial hair. Jealously perhaps? I'm not quite sure.

"Man claims he was forced to eat his own beard

A Kentucky man says he feared for his life after he was in a fight with friends and they forced him to eat his own beard.

"They cut my beard and forced me to eat it," Harvey Westmoreland told a reporter from the NBC affiliate LEX18 while wearing a hat that says "Southern State" and has a Confederate flag on it.

He said his brother Joseph was working for friend Troy Holt in his barn.

Last May, Holt and another friend, James Hill, invited him over but he and Holt started fighting over a lawn mower.

The fight escalated, fists were thrown and Westmoreland was forced to chomp down on his facial hair.

Hill and Holt pleaded guilty to the fight. They will be sentenced Tuesday"

Have you ever seen the Bruce Lee movie "Chinese Connection"? There's a scene where he rips a painting off the wall and shoves it down some guy's throat. It was awesome. Cutting off a man's beard and shoving it down his throat? Not so awesome. Don't go to Kentucky, comrades!
