Man forced to eat his own beard

Two men are being sentenced for cutting off another man's beard and demanding at knife and gunpoint that he eat it because they thought he was cheating them in a used lawnmower sale.

"Troy offered to buy it from me for two hundred and fifty dollars. I paid twenty bucks for it. He thought I was trying to cheat him," said the man who now has a shorter beard. "One thing led to another, and before I knew it, there were knives and guns and everything just went haywire."

It seems confusing as to why a man would get mad for offering a price and then accusing the other person for ripping them off —until you consider that the would-be buyers were drunk.

Different places have different way of resolving contractual disputes, In Lexington, it's through mandatory binding beard-eating.

    See, first I thought the guy was sentenced to eat the beard. I'm glad I reread it more carefully.

    Words fail me.

    hair...and he ate it...and he won tickets to Ozzfest"
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    What's important is that I dont see if they said the beard was still attached or not. Because if he were to continue eating his beard and then his chin, then his throat, and so on...
    ..he'd end up inside-out. ;)

    To do this story justice, this pic needs to be displayed.

    At first, I just assumed that this story was about two gentlemen having an argument over the literary arts, but after seeing the picture of the victim, it became clear that this was indeed about a lawnmower transaction gone astray.

    They should totally get together with the drunk woman demanding oral.
