It seems immodest to to talk about what a great guy I am. So I won’t. Instead I’ll talk about what a great thing I did for Christmas. I shaved my moustache.
My lady was not exactly fond of the thing and I can’t exactly blame her. Truth be told, I was sick of it. Not matter how short I trimmed it, the hairs kept poking into my mouth. As for eating and drinking, I’m not sure that I need a filter on my face.
So I made the supreme Christmas sacrifice. I got rid of something I didn’t like to please someone I do like. Me. And it also saved me from buying a gift. This year I didn’t buy any gifts. Shaving was a small price to pay.
Very small.
There were things I liked about the moustache. It added ten years to my face and customers found a new respect for their waiter. They acted like a police officer had come to their table. I had to put up with little to no misbehaviour while wearing it. God knows, I’ll miss that. By this time next week, I should be right back to being treated as if I’m a struggling actor and this is my first day on the job by yuppies who act like it’s their first time in a restaurant.
So there’s that.
But overall, I think I look better without it. I’ll let you decide.

Nice persiflage of all “before-and-after-photos”!
I also like those ones connected with dieting. Before: with the tummy stuck out. After: with the tummy drawn in.
The moustache was a nice experiment you men can do. Still, you look smarter without.
