Michigan Lawmaker Seeks Beard Mandate

DETROIT (Dec. 31) - The men of Zilwaukee may soon face a hairy dilemma every morning.

Some city council members want to require all adult men to grow beards - or buy a $10 shaving permit - as part of celebrations of the town's 150th anniversary.

City council member Robert Bohnsack, who proposed the regulation, said the council would vote on it Monday.

If it passes, men in the town of about 1,800 would stop shaving as early as Jan. 6 and keep growing their facial hair until the anniversary celebrations in June, when a beard-growing contest would be held.

Bohnsack said the draft of the proclamation mirrored one adopted for Zilwaukee's centennial in 1954 - except then the permit cost $3.

Supporters said the proposal was serious - but not too serious.

"If you don't want to pay the fine, that's cool," said council member Eugene Jolin, who, like Bohnsack, is bearded. "We don't want to make anybody mad."

If the proposed shaving ban seems a bit unusual, so is the very town founding it is meant to celebrate.

The lumber entrepreneurs who founded Zilwaukee intentionally gave it a name that sounded like another city - Milwaukee - and many early arrivals were duped into thinking they were going to the more established Wisconsin town, Jolin said.

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Don't you mean too much?



Oh and would a similar ban be put on women shaving their beards?

What about legs and pits?

Damn. Busted by the spelling police. What is the fine officer?

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

$10 - which you can apply to a misspelling permit.

If you don't believe me, ask me.

Do I get retro credit for having a beard for 25 yrs?

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
