Lesson #2- Moustaches

Freddy Mercury had one. Generals in the Civil War had them. Combine the two and you have one rockin' sweet cranial accessory. The moustache. It can sometimes look as if it grows from your nose, or sprouts from the top of your lip. When people shave them, they're upper lips look huge. Often, many people are apprehensive about growing a moustache, and as a facial hair coinnesseur, let me say you shouldn't be. I don't really have much of a reason as to why not, but you should trust an expert.
