Footnote before we even start today’s special post: all the mustaches depicted above were captured on Sundays.
Footnote of the footnote: it’s obvious. A pappa-mustache is nothing but an ordinary mustache during the week, when he finds himself isolated under working-daily conditions.
Now to the actual bla-bla:
They put the M in Master of the House. The M of Mustache.
And even though a simple kiss in his son/daughter/wife/maid might cause an uncomfortable hairy attrition, the fact of setting the example overcomes this little „get away daddy“ syndrome.
Personally speaking, my father never had a mustache.
And this made me a weaker person.
