If you're heading to Beijing next year for the Olympics you will not see one bald cabbie.  The Chinese city department has put into effect a new rule that will outlaw beards and shaved heads for the men taxi drivers.  This move comes just two months after the department banned women taxi drivers from wearing "too-fancy" hairstyles. [What that means, we don't know.] As an extra measure to clean up the image of the city and the people, drivers have already been ordered not to spit, eat or smoke in cabs while they drive.
Beijing's long-suffering taxi-drivers are in the cross-hairs once again -- with shaved heads to be banned from the driving seat ahead of next year's Beijing Olympics
