The Mustaches of The Past

It is true that some men in the past
sported enormous mustaches.
Some of them
(even the grotesquely deformed)
grew mustaches like
cranes lifting and lowering the
mandible. In some cases
scholars no bigger than a thumb
measured the mustaches
and deemed them exceedingly
woolly. "It is like a world of pubic
hair" said one. Another said,
"This mustache is a dense
legal system through which there
are many courts of appeal."
