What if you imagined something that were roughly the equivalent? Something done to yourself that is either irrevocable, or at least long-lasting, and changes the way you look or mars the way you look for a long time.
Is it sick that the first thing that popped into my head was how a male might feel about circumcision? Of course, that's pretty irrevocable, so doesn't equate to a haircut.
If you don't have a beard (something inside me says this could be a possibility as a bass-playing mountain man from the edge of civilization, Minnesota), maybe ask Marcus how it would feel if someone shaved his beard while he was sleeping?
