OKLAHOMA CITY (OP) – On Monday,
Oklahoma Attorney General Drew
Edmondson announced that he had filed a
restraining order against
the mustache of Rep.
Larry Rice, D-Pryor.
“Rice’s facial hair is
out of control,” said
Edmondson. “We feel
that, if it is allowing to
grow unchecked, it
threatens to consume
the House.”
Edmond said the
action was necessary to
protect Rep. Joe Eddins, D-Vinita, who sits
next to Rice in the House and has been assaulted
by the mustache on various occasions.
“I’m not saying he has to shave it but
something has to be done. I can’t see anything
from my desk anymore, and it’s like voting in a
straw hut.” Eddins said.
In a previous filing, the attorney general
successfully restrained the mustache of Rep.
Greg Piatt, D-Ardmore.
He said he is considering taking action
against the goatee of Sen. Charles Ford, R-Tulsa,
as well as filing suit against the soupstrainer
of destruction worn by Rep. Mike
Mass, D-Hartshorne
