It Tasted Like Chicken

The Associated Press: Man says he was forced to eat beard in mower spat: "A central Kentucky man says he was forced to eat his beard after an argument about a lawn mower got out of control. Harvey Westmoreland of Lawrenceburg told WLEX-TV that two men cut off his beard, stuffed it into his mouth and forced him to eat it."

Well, thank God they were only arguing about the lawn mower. Who knows what they would have forced him to eat if they'd been arguing about the weed-wacker!

Not just chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, coffee and apple pie. That's a genuine beard

Put it between two slices of bread with some mayonnaise, and it's not bad!

They should have had "Dueling Banjos" playing in the background.

Do you think the miscreants were inspired by a similar scene in Dorothy Sayers' Five Red Herrings? I didn't think so . . .

Hey, you could be onto something. They seemed like well-read guys who'd like a good cozy mystery now an then.
