Beards and moustaches stink. In Medieval times, beards were thought to protect the wearer's face from abrasions during fights. Like the myth of grey hair, beards could be seen as an indicator of wisdom, regardless of the idiocy of the wearer. In later eras, moustaches were seen as abbreviated beards...
