Thousands apply for beard-stroking 'job'123RF Bearded folks in the UK are signing up to make some extra Christmas cash. Move over mall Santas, over 4000 bearded men have applied for the most bizarre seasonal Christmas job yet - to let their facial hair be stroked by highly stressed Christmas shoppers. The ad was placed by Mo Bro's Grooming Co in Leicester, England, asking for furry-faced men to man its "beard stroking station". The stroking station, which is styled like a beachside photo-stand, will be open from Wednesday 20 December. Each 20-minute session will cost £5 ($9.52), and profits will go to a homeless charity called Shelter.
