	If you are so bold as to wear a mustache
then you had better expect to spend time grooming
it. He wants to present a certain image to the
world of a very careful and thoughtful person so
grooming, waxing, trimming and shaping are a
necessity. IMHO. Oh and it keeps the little gray
cells engaged.

	The French at certain time periods have been
thought by other nations to be quite logical so
French Detectives come to the fore.
