When I was little, the local police had baseball-style cards made for every officer and they encouraged kids to ask the officers   for them and try to collect them all. When my friend and I learned this, we assumed that * every* working person would give us free things. So, we went up to a guy in a plumbing van and asked him if he had any old pipes we could have.

We were kind of stupid.

My sister had a friend that lived across the street, and said friend’s mother was over at our house one day talking to my mother while the girls played, I walked into the kitchen/dining area and said “Hi Mrs. So-and-so! You have a mustache!” because she dead ass had a mustache. Bigger than shit. She immediately scolded me about how you should never tell a woman that she has a mustache and I was crestfallen, as I thought I was paying her a compliment - when I was a kid all I wanted was a mustache of my own!

Back when I was a mtb kid in Canada I decided it wanted to make studded tires for winter. My buddies were putting sheet metal screws through to make theirs but my Dad and i stopped in at the local tire shop. I talked to the manager and told him what I was doing; He emptied their stud gun into a bag and gave them to me free- and said come back when you’re 16 and buy a set of tires..

They made awesome bike tires, a nd I bought my first set of truck tires from him.

“ I mustache you a question, but I guess I will shave it for later.”

eh when i was a kid i collected hubcaps i found by the roadside

eventually kid me figured out collecting hubcaps still attached to cars was a much quicker way of getting them

in a village of 120 people all cars suddenly missing a hubcap did not go unnoticed

kid me was pretty stupid too

So much innuendo, so little time.

Venture hub cap-italism.

As a 12 year old boy who was bought an electric razor for my 12th birthday, the novelty of a mustache wore off rapidly.

As a 38 year old boy, I’ve long since given up on waiting for a mustache.

As a 39 year old boy who’s had to shave either everyday (if I’m going somewhere nice) or few days (If I’m mooching around the house or cleaning cars) since I was 12. It gets tiresome very very rapidly.

What they don’t tell you is hairs start growing out your nose and ears and even grow on your ears.

Also a goatee that goes patchy with white hairs if I have a few stressful days.

You mate are very lucky indeed.

I don’t actually mind shaving that much, to be honest.

I still have to shave every 2 days to be presentable, but it’s so sparse and patchy that I can’t grow anything useful - no mustache, no beards, no goatee, and not even really great sideburns. My wife calls it a “teenager beard”. It’s not pretty.
