A word about moustaches

We were leaving Wal-Mart the other day when we passed the "spa" as various women were getting manicures and pedicures. On a bench outside the entrance sat a man with his legs crossed like Katie Couric along with the posture of a young Margaret Thatcher that just kept scanning the patrons who walked past him. However, after taking a few steps I realized that was not what concerned me. Instead it was the hideous moustache that had grown along his upper lip. Back in the day Charlie Chaplin and Groucho Marx utilized their moustaches to comedic effect. Even some of the most influential men in history, including Albert Einstein and Martin Luther King, Jr., weren't afraid to grow the old moustache. In the 70's it was hard to find a musician who didn't sport facial hair, most notably David Crosby and Freddie Mercury. In fact the 80's brought us some of the greatest 'staches of all time from the likes of Tom Selleck, Alex Trebek, and Geraldo Rivera. But now 25 years later the moustache has fallen on not so hairy times. Sure there are still a handful of people who can pull it off, but unfortunately the moustache now gives off a creepy, To Catch A Predator kind of vibe.
