The Art of Shaving to Evade a Follicle Test


(CN) - A New Yorker who shaved his entire body to scuttle a court-ordered follicle test in a custody fight should not have been held in contempt, an appeals court ruled.

During a custody battle between Delilah Smith and Roberto De Paz Jr. in July 2012, a Nassau County family court judge ordered both parents to submit to follicle testing at their own expense.

After nearly a month, the court gave De Paz one more week to submit proof that he had taken the test. During that hearing, Smith's attorney asked the court to direct De Paz "not to cut his hair again until the hair follicle test is done."

The family court declined to make that order, however, stating that the person administering the test "will find a hair on his body wherever it is and have it tested."

1. He either really wanted to avoid a

drug test or he was just pissed off a lot at being ordered to do it.

You've got to admit that he must have been pretty damned thorough to get em' all. I wonder if he managed to wax his own backside, if there were co-conspirators or if the testing facility wasn't all that interested in finding out.

2. Testing for what?

If drugs, they may as well give up...the test will only reveal drugs metabolized since the last time the hair was shorn. If he's too stupid to go a week without using drugs...he's too stupid to have custody.
