Man Forced To Eat Own Beard 16
They take lawnmower sales serious in Kentucky. Nobody knows this better than Harvey Westmoreland who was forced to eat his own beard at gunpoint after an argument about a lawnmower. "Troy offered to buy it from me for $250 dollars. I paid twenty bucks for it. He thought I was trying to cheat him. One thing led to another, and before I knew it, there were knives and guns and everything just went haywire. (Then) they cut my beard and forced me to eat it," he said.

Troy offered to buy it from me for $250 dollars. I paid twenty bucks for it.
So he has the opportunity to make a cool $230 - and somehow he ends up at gunpoint? What the what the what?

The scariest thing about that story is the legal consequences of their actions:
Hill and Holt pleaded guilty. It's expected they'll be fined and sentenced to supervised diversion.
Clearly, in the U.S. violent crime is tolerated and condoned, but victimless crime (like crimes that involve "sex" and "drugs") often involve many years in a penitentiary.
