the wonderful, wonderful mustache

Why do so many police men have moustaches? I think we can safely say that moustaches have been out of style for about 25 years. Yeah they're so out of style that they are coming back in right? Well not really. Unless you're doing the whole handlebar/sideburn thing ... even then it can go very wrong, only certain people can pull it off. The goatee is the moustache of the past 10 years, mind you this could all change in 6 months. All that being said, why does it seem a high percentage of the police force, as compared to the rest of society, are mustachioed? Why? Is it some sort of ranking, do you have to have arrested 100 people of which at least 20 of them had to be murderers, 10 resisted arrest and 15 were armed. None of this drunk and disorderly crap for the permission to grow a mustache.

It would seem to me that mustachioed men are likely to fall into one of these categories (with their likelihood in percentage).

1. Police 40%
2. Military 30%
3. burn out who still thinks its 1982 and actually enjoys the Doobie Brothers 13%
4. biker 10%
5. gay bondage guy 3%
6. cowboy 2%
7. older man whose prime was in the 50's/60's/70's and is trying to revive that look 2%

Is it just me who notices this, someone should really do a study.

And this is what goes through my mind on a Friday at work, I can't control it.
