In other words, when we raise $5000 Chris will shave his beard.

           We need your help.  Chris Toms is currently being held hostage by his beard.  Yes, his facial hair is holding him hostage.  Chris’s ransom is currently set at $5000.  Please help us free our beloved staff member from the clutches of Sasquatch status. 

            Here is the ransom note that we received from the beard:

Dear People.  I am in Possession of the one you call Chris Toms.  I am currently surrounding the lower half of his face and have no intention of surrendering.  The only way to secure his safety is to provide me with  5000 of your American Dollars.  (Euros will be accepted as well.)  You’d better hurry or I will engulf his entire head.  This is your last chance.  With Love, The Beard.

             As you can see, this beard means business.  Help us shave Chris by providing the $5000 ransom.  It’s the only way.  Here is the picture we received along with the ransom note:

             Time is of the utmost importance.  We fear for his chance of finding a wife.  Please help us by raising $5000 for our ministry, I mean for Chris’s ransom.  We will send you updates on our progress.

In other words, when we raise $5000 Chris will shave his beard.
