Man forced to eat beard in mower spat
Nov 12, 2010
LAWRENCEBURG, Ky. — A central Kentucky man says he was forced to eat his own beard after an argument about a lawn mower got out of control. Harvey Westmoreland of Lawrenceburg said that two men cut off his beard, stuffed it into his mouth and forced him to eat it. Westmoreland said the men gave him no hot sauce or any other condiment to make his beard more palatable, only a small glass of water. He indicated it took him more than 6 hours to eat the beard, which he had grown over a period of 8 years. He indicated he plans to file a civil lawsuit against the two men, for "loss of beard," which he valued at $15,000.
Westmoreland said two former friends got angry as they tried to negotiate a price for a lawn mower they wanted to buy from him. He said "one thing led to another, and before I knew it, there were knives and guns and everything just went haywire."
The two men pleaded guilty to charges related to the incident and will be sentenced next week.
Westmoreland complained of passing hair balls when he used the toilet. The mower was not sold to either assailant and Westmoreland said he would not try to resell it because he could be killed by the next potential purchaser.
"He should be glad they didn't cut off his you know what."
ReplyDeleteFor real, especially since it hadn't been that long ago that Westmoreland and one of the other men had an altercation over a woman.
Thanks for the comment, Pagan (may I call you by your first name?) I didn't know that or forgot it if I did. It's great to have a real Pagan reading and commenting on the blog. I love Paganism and all it doesn't stand for.
