LCD Views can report today that a well known clown of the international stage has taken things a step further by growing a Charlie Chaplin moustache while on a South American holiday.
“He was sent over there to get him out of the big tent for a few days,” our upper lip specialist says, “or he went there so other people could do some clowning on his behalf and he could claim plausible deniability due to the tyranny of distance. Choose your own reason. I’m just a moustache man.”
The moustache itself is worthy of consideration for being a classic design not much evidenced since the 1940’s.
“It takes some swagger to pull off the tooth brush,” our tooth brush expert approves, “most people would consider growing one and then realise it might make them look like Nigel Farage with a small microphone under his nose. At that point they give up. But not our man.”
Apparently South American countries do have a climate just right for growing this moustache though and that may have contributed to the decision.
“It’s due to post war migration to Argentina of some very committed ideologues who used the tooth brush as a secret symbol to recognise one another. Both more hygienic and more subtle than a secret handshake.”
LCD Views would like to say we approve of the new look, especially when the famous clown raises his arms and talks.
“It really gives you a feel of his actual potential, where he allowed to develop naturally with ever greater power.”
Will he be allowed that?
“Don’t be stupid. This is no laughing matter.”
