NOVEMBER. 1940 Fur on the Face A. Beard Takes a Tweak at Mustaches Adds Oomph to osculation Sleek old Tom twiddled the glossy black hairs about his mouth to a sharp point and idled up to the she cat. With a moist, loving glow in his eyes he gently, hesitantly, made advances with his soft pink tongue. It touch- ed her warm damp nose, her soft, furry ears — Spat! (A scratch.) Me-owww-- Damn your whiskers, Tom. I ' m ticklish. Tom learned the hard way. They call him Scarface now. Those strands of hair on upper lips have caused many unhappy moments, even in hu- man lives. Do you know why we were never married? she prattled. It was his fault. He always got chewing gum stuck on his mustache. One day my transformation stuck to some gum. Then he knew I was bald. I ' ll die an old maid. If I only had had hair on my head and he had none on his upper lip. I have heard many descriptive names for whiskers in general and to be a little more specific, mustaches. They have been called misplaced eyebrows, pump-handles, soup- strainers, tooth-brushes and everything else. I ' ll concede that a mustache may resemble anything. That gives me the privilege to say it looks like a horse ' s tail (the brushy part). The man that wears one therefore appears horsey. This does not mean he goes in for polo, either. (That last crack was to keep you on the tail or trail.) Why do you have a mustache? is a question I have asked scores of men. The slick college sport with a waxed upper lip told me it added oomph to his osculation. Hmmm- maybe. But who likes a mouthful of wax? asks the coed. Siil ' cs food from contamination Fills in space- A prof with no lantern jaw remarked that a mustache filled in the space under his nose a little bit. He needs it. It cuts down the amount of wide open space in the mouth. The negro cook at a fraternity house has sinus trouble and hates handkerchiefs. He says, Boss, dat fuzz sho has saved manya ' deesh from contamination. He may be right, but at this point I can hear a loud scream for the sanitary commission. One student who eats at the Eta Iota Lambda fraternity and is consequently undernourished, chews his mus- tache for calories. I have been considering sending him some old socks to make a stew, though this would be pulling the wool over his teeth, something I don ' t approve of. Mustaches aren ' t the least bit new. So the novelty of them can ' t be the attraction. You can change each to match your attire as you can a tie. They make a young person old, an old person decrepit — and a corpse a holy sight. Have they any material value? No. They are not large enough to stuff a mattress. They -HI) can ' t be sold for junk. Then what Can be chcucJ for nourishment • i i i i in — o h w e I 1 ! What ' s the use? You tell me. Have they artistic value? A lady on a bill- board seems to need something. What is it? More sex appeal? Perhaps she needs a frilly collar on her dress. Or maybe a rose in her hair. No, that ' s not it. Step back a few steps. Ah — add a mustache. Something was lacking, but now — . That ' s the answer to my queries. Put a mustache where something is lacking. Now maybe we know why some men wear mustaches. PAGE THREE
