Dissenting Opinions: Letters To The Editors

Published December 4, 2007

Sometimes reading The Water Tower inspires out readers to get naked and fight the power. But most of the time, they just send e-mails.

Dear Water Tower,

I would like to take this opportunity, as the minutes left in November wane, to thank you for the Beardvember Competition. Hosting such a noble event has revealed a commitment to the public good rarely seen in periodicals and is bound to go down in legend. A month ago, I was
trying to keep my beard neat and tidy. That is, until I read in the Water Tower that a shaving fast had begun at the beginning of the month. I immediately threw down my shears and swore off all trimming.

I, like all Beardvember participants, have never been happier and I have you to thank. Now, as this holy month draws to an end, I urge you to continue the good work and encourage your readers to keep their faces long and shaggy. No Shave November could be the launching pad for a beautiful, bushy future.

Andrew S. Mallon
