Mustache Group Announces ‘Million Mustache March’ on D.C., Calls for Tax Break

On a windswept Presidents Day afternoon, Aaron Perlut unveiled what could be considered his magnum opus: a Million Mustache March set for April Fool’s Day.

Standing before a small crowd of supporters and tourists who, curious, had ambled toward the pro-mustache music blaring from his stage on the U.S. Capitol’s West Lawn, the American Mustache Institute chairman also rolled out the “Stache Act,” a bill that would provide a $250 tax credit to mustached Americans. Perlut touted the support of tax giant H&R Block, which really did agree to support the endeavor.

“According to AMI science, we’ve increased mustache growth and thus good looks by 38 percent in this country. But those good looks came at a cost in the form of American-made facial grooming products such as beard and mustache trimmers, facial hair dyes, karate training devices, mayonnaise and dynamite. Indeed, those accoutrements are not free,” Perlut said.

“It is clear that mustache maintenance costs qualify and should be considered a deductible expense related to the production of income underneath Internal Revenue Service Code Section 212, and, hence, the Million Mustache March.”

How about a full beard, mustache, and ponytail. I’ve been told it saves the environment. I’m not sure how, but that’s what I’ve heard.

I’m a-frayed the price of mustache wax has gotten prohibitive. This economy has really gotten ugly.

I understand Obama may be there with one — I mean, I hear many supporters are clamoring to see more of his “stache”...

“...pro-mustache music...”

“First I’ve heard of this genre.”

I searched for examples, but the closest thing I could find was the famous bald liberation anthem “We Shall Overcomb”.

Search out "The Mustache Song". Maybe not for tender ears, though.

This sounds like a crappy event to meet chicks. Or put another way, it sounds like just about any predominantly democrat attended rally.
