he wanted to back out. However, he recalled
the reason that he was doing this charity event
in the first place and decided to stick with it.

Burgher had never trimmed his eyebrows in his life. It was
considered to be a wildly successful campaign, and the jokes
continue about whether they can do it again the next year.
