Wild, Wacky, & True: Man Shaves Eyebrows For Charity

Si Burgher had such long eyebrows that he brushed them each morning. The 72-year-old’s bushy eyebrows raised $1,600 for charity as he allowed people to have a whack at clipping them for $100 a pop.

The shaggy eyebrows had grown over three inches long because they had never been trimmed. He agreed to have his eyebrows trimmed by members of the Bloomfield Rotary Club to raise money for a polio eradication campaign.

He says, “I don’t care if they ever grow back. My wife says I look 20 years younger.”

Lawyers, bankers and others put up $100 each for their turn to snip away at Burgher’s eyebrows, with the money going to Rotary International’s PolioPlus, which has raised $500 million for polio eradication in the developing world since 1985.

Si’s wife says she likes what she sees, as well. She says, “Beneath the eyebrows is a really handsome man. He looks like a normal person. I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.”

Nice. What would you trim for charity?
