Is this part of your long term plan to create a country of smoothe chests? First beards, then all body hair and then compulsory mastectomies, bleach remaining hair blond and then starve until you have ze Aryan Adam Rickitt zuperrace?<BR/><BR/>I much preferred Alan B'Stard's idea of no representation without taxation - no one HAS to pay taxes, as long as they're happy with no say of any kind in how the country is run.<BR/><BR/>But that was a very funny comedy making a satirical and historical comparison.<BR/><BR/>I've no idea what this is.Youth of Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08509521019229324658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221881756433157362.post-65069918384320225952008-11-15T14:03:00.000-08:002008-11-15T14:03:00.000-08:00"How long must a beard be before it can be taxed?"..."How long must a beard be before it can be taxed?"<BR/><BR/>I'd say it must be beyond mere stubble.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>"Does designer stubble count? Do moustaches? Do goatees?"<BR/><BR/>Stubble no. Goatees yes. I'd suggest a reduced rate for moustaches despite their hideous 1970s connotations.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>"How long must the beard have been worn? A day? A week? A year? When does it begin to count as a beard?"<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>After a month.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>"Won't this be unfair on a) men (as women will be naturally exempt) and b) those religions which dictate that hair should not be cut?"<BR/><BR/>Those religious groups will be excempt. As for women, well they are excempt.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>"Aren't you afraid you're going to piss off Brian Blessed? I wouldn't want an angry Brian Blessed on my case!"<BR/><BR/>Brian is a successful actor and can no doubt well afford the tax. Mind you I wouldn't want him shouting through my letterbox.sparacushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695698678269794739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221881756433157362.post-7737656581315054992008-11-15T13:09:00.000-08:002008-11-15T13:09:00.000-08:00How long must a beard be before it can be taxed?Do...How long must a beard be before it can be taxed?<BR/><BR/>Does designer stubble count?
