Mormons hate mustaches


To mustache or not to mustache?
Associated Press

MURRAY, Utah — The mayor of the Salt Lake City suburb of Murray says he has little choice but to shave his nearly foot-long handlebar mustache for a children's charity.

Dan Snarr is putting the decision to a vote of residents and says his fashion statement is "getting creamed."

Besides, his wife hates it. She's sick of puckering up for a kiss and getting poked in the eye

Yet the 59-year-old Snarr also is facing pressure from the mustache lobby. The St. Louis-based American Mustache Institute got wind of his plans and called on Snarr to keep a stiff upper lip in the face of opposition.

A local Costco warehouse store says residents have been voting since May 1. Votes will be counted May 16.

Snarr says the shave votes far outnumber the save votes and that his graying mustache is doomed.

I cannot believe what this town of unaccepting bigots is trying to do to the fine Mayor Snarr. Having a mustache is a right in this country and yet these chicken hawks are running for a can of Edge and a Mach 3. I wonder how the people in Murray would like it if I sent my close personal friend Tom Selleck out there to kick ass and take names. Probably not much.
