Mustache Means Money, Authority for Police
This one’s for you, Fred:
Police in northern India are being paid an extra 65 cents a month to grow moustachios a mustache to give them more authority, a newspaper reported on Tuesday. Mayank Jain, a superintendent with the Madhya Pradesh state police, told The Asian Age that research showed that police with mustaches were taken more seriously.
Police with mustaches and trunchoens are taken very, very seriously.
However, he added, the shape and style of police mustaches would be monitored to ensure they did not take on a mean look.
"Honey, does this make me look mean?"
"Ummm, no, I’d say it makes you look stern."
"Thanks, that’s the look I was going for."
