Never Bet on Canadian Soccer

Being Canadian has lots of perks, and Luke is very proud to call himself Canadian... until it came to the Honduras vs. Canada World Cup qualifying match.  Some of Luke's students thought it would be fun to bet Mr. Martin that if Honduras won, he would have to shave his head.  I am not sure what the other side of the bet was, but Luke, being the optimist that he is, gladly took the bet with his students.

He wasn't too optimistic when he learned that in the first half Honduras had score almost 5 goals and Canada had nil...  that's right, nil!  Luckily, Canada scored at least 1 goal but it didn't matter.  They were creamed with a final score of 8-1 and Luke took the razor and lived up to his end of the bargain.

Owen was very confused as he watched his father shave his head but decided he was more interested in the dogs.

The entire school had a good laugh the next day including all of my elementary school kids who somehow found out about the bet overnight.  Luke became a Mazapan Twitter phenomenon!
