Unlikely Words

We did a mustache conteste at work and I’m afraid I let all of you down. I think I was penalized for the fact that although my hair is brown, my mustache is mostly red. Also, I think the judging should have been done in person instead of from a photograph, as my mustache does look marginally better in the photograph posted here than the photograph posted there. This clearly depicts a flaw in the system as it seems to be all about lighting for me. Either way, I’m keeping it for a while. I like looking in the mirror and seeing myself in disguise.

As an aside, what do people who actually have a mustache think about all of the people that have mustache contests? For people who know me, if they were to see me they’d say, “Oh, you have a mustache.” People who don’t know me, however, wouldn’t notice anything different. As far as they’re concerned, I always have a mustache. Anyone with a mustache care to comment?
