Victor Joynath De was grounded by Indian - formerly called Indian Airlines- in 2001 for refusing to shave off his handlebar moustache....Unnerved. I love that.
A moustache, if worn, should not extend beyond the upper lip, says the rule book...
The spokesman said that some passengers could be unnerved by such a striking facial feature.
But really, doesn't there need to be some limit on moustachery when you're serving the general public?
That's not Mr. De. That's just the most extreme example of a moustache — or "mustache" — I was able to find on the internet in less than one minute. I'm just trying to prove my point that it would be not just unnerving but revolting to have a man with too much moustache serving you food.
"Mustache" is an amusing word. What is its etymology?
1585, from Fr. moustache, from It. mostaccio, from Medieval Gk. moustakion, dim. of Doric mystax (gen. mystakos) "upper lip, mustache," related to mastax "jaws, mouth," lit. "that with which one chews," from PIE base *mnto- "mouth" (see mouth). Borrowed earlier (1551) as mostacchi, from the It. word or its Sp. derivative mostacho. The plural form of this, mustachios, lingers in English. Dutch slang has a useful noun, de befborstel, to refer to the mustache specifically as a tool for stimulating the clitoris; probably from beffen "to stimulate the clitoris with the tongue."Oh, come on now! That last sentence was uncalled for. I'm unnerved.

Oh, come on. Everyone's always clamoring for more law posts, and I give you one...
Most airlines' crew rules limit pilots to upper-lip-only mustaches. It has to do with ensuring a snug fit for an oxygen mask in the event of an emergency.
The greater mystery is why airline pilot seems to be a mustache-friendly profession in the first place -- take a closer look next time you're at the airport!
Well, if the Dutch actually have a single word that means "to stimulate the clitoris with the tongue", they clearly are more evolved than we are. Team Dutch.

de befborstel is quite a 'mouthful'
No pun intended of course.
I assume this involves two people.

Well cunnilingus just has a lot of syllables and is arguably harder to pronounce than de befborstel. Then again, one shouldn't talk with thier mouth full anyway.
A lot of moustache wax there...

Heh.
Well, I wouldn't want to actually eat something with that around my mouth but it wouldn't bother me for him to serve me something.
Facial hair is a problem that way - that's one of the reasons I keep mine shaved.

Well I would insist on some kind of moustache net to keep stray whiskers from falling in my soup.
THis post brings back bad memories from my youth. When I was in high school, I was skiing with my brother and we ended sharing a lift ride up with your stereotypical late 70's/early 80's ski bum cheeseball. He had the feathered hair and a porn stache.
This idiot goes on to tell us that chicks dig his moustache because of the effect mentioned above.
Hope he didn't call it his flavor saver.
Mustache Rides 25¢

Well that's interesting because I have gotten complaints in the past for chafing so I tend to be clean shaven. Aim to please and all that.
How much of an effect can a mustache have on a beaver?

Actually that reminds me of a bumber sticker I saw once. It said: Save a Tree. Eat a Beaver.
If the man in that picture worked at a restaurant, I would eat there just to show people.
We must have lunch at such-and-such place. There is a waiter there with the most extraordinary mustache...
Oh, and am I the only one who thinks he looks like Dennis Quaid?
Or maybe Bill Paxton...
The BBC article is wrong when it says that according to airline rules all male flight/cabin crew members must be clean shaven. An exception is made for Sikhs.
Does he condition that thing? It looks a little... dry. Split-endy.
Either we be beffen or we be boffin'.
