Beards are Sacred

Has anybody noticed that with each reshuffle of the cabinet in Stravaraland at least one minister with a mustache is given his walking papers. Cynics among you may think that someone at the presidential castle is trying to play down the fact that we’re the first Middle Eastern country to join the EU.

I checked with official photographs and even called the palace. I must have dialed the wrong number and got through to a bakery that was recently fined for selling tashinopittes containing ball bearings. Needless to say, the baker was furious. Regarding the fine, that is.

At any rate, the whole moustache thing can probably be attributed to some benign form of narcissism. You know, like not wanting to be seen wearing the same dress as someone else at a cocktail party.
