Timmy turned us Into cops

Ok. So while we were in Seattle. Mr Timmy brb thought it would be a great idea to shave all our facial hair and keep the staches. As horrible of an idea as it was. Of coarse we all obliged an did it. Mind you, we all had full beards and I myself had had mine for at least 5 years. Never taken it down this far. After the stupidity Is over. We walk across the street for a drink and what does the first person I see say? " hey guy, that's a real nice mustache. " haha. We are brilliant. I wish I had a better. Not so gay pic. But it's what I have so deal. I'll Take a large FARVA
