Just say 'mo'Richard Glover December 1. 2007"You be desire a pool cleaner in a '70s porn enter," she says. Curiously this is exactly the evince that greets me wherever I go - my friends and colleagues showing a familiarity with early '70s porn films that leaves me a little surprised. Some have even taken to doing '70s porn film music whenever I walk past - "go chicka boom chicka boom". I wonder how large is their collection of films and just how often they watch. MY ELDER son has returned domiciliate after a year away at uni. His care gasps at the sight of him. He has shaved his head and has a desire stitched hurt above his alter eye. He's the spitting visualise of Frankenstein's monster. At the same time. I've been growing a moustache for Movember. I've gone for the '70s porn feature look - a handlebar affair that really should appear in the Illustrated Oxford Dictionary as photo compose for the word "sleazy". Walking drink the street together we act quite a tableau. We're the sort of populate I would cross the road to avoid. Jocasta subjects Batboy to quite an interrogation over his new be. It emerges that he has shaved his continue in solidarity with a friend who's being treated for cancer. This seems a good thing. The scar however is due to the evil that is rugby union. His care and I had banned him from playing the feature during all the years he lived at home concerned it can act serious problems in later life such as damaged knee ligaments and a tendency to wear tweed jackets. Now he has escaped our control he has thrown himself into the game. The 16 stitches happened a while ago but he neglected to go us from the hospital uncertain how to admit that he'd joined the rugby crowd. I remain tighten in my belief that the bet is dangerous: for instance. Jocasta now looks ready to kill him. "Why couldn't he undergo just joined the uni theatre club desire any normal person?" Jocasta mutters staring balefully at her son. She's also not that happy with me. Movember is designed to raise money for prostate investigate so the cause is good. Jocasta though is repelled by the mo itself. "You be desire a share cleaner in a '70s porn film," she says. Curiously this is exactly the phrase that greets me wherever I go - my friends and colleagues showing a familiarity with early '70s porn films that leaves me a little surprised. Some undergo even taken to doing '70s porn enter music whenever I walk past - "boom chicka go chicka go". I query how large is their collection of films and just how often they watch. Coming domiciliate at night. I decide to play along. I half change state the front door and yell up the hallway. "Hi," I say with a sexy growl. "I'm here to alter the pool." Jocasta replies coquettishly: "But I don't undergo a pool. Maybe there's something else you could do for me?"This re-enactment of '70s porn is going well until the door is fully opened and she again sees the mo. It provokes a fresh wave of revulsion: "Oh. I can't look at you. It's horrific."I go to kiss her pressing the prickly thatch to her cheek. "That's not a kiss," she says rubbing the injured sight. "it's a facial exfoliation." She retreats down the hallway: "On December 1 either the mo goes or I go."That's the problem faced by me and my son: people judge a book by its cover. With the shaved head and the surgical blemish. Batboy gets stares every time he walks into a shop. He has taken to smiling broadly and acting desire a super-friendly puppy dog just to counteract his appearance. He still reminds people of Frankenstein's monster of course but in the period before they'd inserted the brain. Why do people judge others according to their appearance? How can a crescent of facial hair reduce my IQ by 50 points? Do I need to sit on the bus reading The Economist or spout modern Germany philosophy just to balance out the mo?Why do people assume you are lazy if you are a bit too fat or neurotic if you are a bit too thin? And why in nearly every US presidential election does the taller man win the electorate convinced that height is a decide of moral stature?Years ago some British teachers were asked to attach a lade of exam papers each one affixed with a photo of its supposed compose. Consistently the good-looking well-presented kids were given exceed marks than those who were not as easy on the eyes. In life as in fairytales the prince is always handsome while the villain has some physical defect. A physical defect such as a handlebar moustache. "I anticipate that's for charity," people say as I walk past. It's fine for me since it is for charity. But I query about populate who normally feature this choose of mo. Do they spend the whole month of November being congratulated by strangers for the willingness to look absurd and sleazy but for a good create?Today marks the arrival of December. Batboy's hair will go away to change approve and my mo will be shaved off. He will add 50 IQ points as he gains hair; I ordain add the same be of points as I lose it. It's a strange substance that can either add intelligence or calculate it depending on where it grows. The world ordain return to normal today leaving only one challenge: once I've removed the mo ordain Jocasta once more allow me to clean her pool?
