Houma, Louisiana is not a city for barbers. On May 19th, 32-year-old barber Clyde Scott was handed a ticket by a police officer for cutting hair in his barbershop. The crime? Cutting hair on a Monday! A decades-old city law forbids barbers in the city from cutting hair on Sundays, Mondays, and a variety of holidays, meaning that on 115 days of the year barbers in Houma aren’t supposed to be cutting anybody’s hair. Scott is facing a $500 fine for his obscene indiscretion. Apparently the law is a holdover from “strong-arm union tactics” of the Louisiana State Association of Barbers in the 1950s and 1960s. We don’t know much, but one thing we know for certain: Don’t mess with barber unions, they have knives, scissors, and know how to use them!
