Post Obligado (I pledge to:)

Como ya muchos lectores sabrán, soy un orgulloso poseedor de un bonito y muy sano bigote. Y no sólo eso, desde principios de año soy integrante del American Mustache Institute, y medito en la posibilidad de abrir un capítulo México. Esta semana me ha llegado una lista de obligaciones como miembro, y me atrevo a compartirlas con ustedes, para que después no se sorprendan:

As a supporter of the American Mustache Institute, I pledge to:

• Lobby the administration of President Barack Obama, asking him to grow a mustache during his first term to demonstrate solidarity with people of Mustached American descent.

• Applaud any Mustached American as they walk past me on the street.

• Castigate clean shaven mortals and remind them that their bare-lipped appearance is a sign of weakness and communism.

• Dislike all things associated with Dave Navarro.

• Continue my mustache growth in the extremely rare case that it causes significant decreases in sexual activity, friendships, and approval by society at large.

• Never own a cat or watch "Sex And The City."

• Discriminate only against those with chin coverage (i.e. beards, goatees) as those forms of facial hair represent the "spousal compromise."

• Distrust clean-shaven officers of the law, and if approached by a mustache-free constable, dial 911 and proceed to a nearby police station, where a squadron of heavily mustached officers will greet me with open arms.

• Consider the environment before shaving my mustache.

• Never forget that every time a mustache is shaved an angel in heaven dies and falls to earth.
