The record shows that Columbus had no mustache.
Asshole.
Records also show that when he was about to get killed by his own shipmates someone said “errrrr... I’m not sure whether it's the cheap rum but I’m positive there’s something out there“. The rest of the story is quite known.
Centuries have gone by and what do see in the streets? A mustache paying tribute to the historical gesture.
Mustache is culture.
