Zoo: Free admission for Mohawk haircuts

MELBOURNE, Fla. (UPI) -- A zoo in Melbourne, Fla., says visitors sporting Mohawks resembling the manes of Visayan warty pigs will get in free during Father's Day weekend.

The zoo said the promotion, aimed at publicizing the new Visayan warty pig exhibit that is to open June 14, will run in addition to a promotion offering free admission for dads on Father's Day, WKMG-TV in Orlando reported Monday.

Male Visayan warty pigs, which were originally native to six Philippine islands but are now found on only two, bear Mohawk-like manes that often grow to more than one foot in length and stand up vertically when the animals are agitated.

Hmm.... Mohawks...

so you look like a pig on Father's day and get entry for free...

... or you get in for free nonetheless on Father's day, and get to keep yourself looking great at your job.

That sounds easy--no haircut--and go to the zoo on Father's day.
