Moustaches
My dad has a moustache. Fair enough, I say, he's getting on a bit now and perfectly entitled to have a moustache.

However, many of my friends haven't cottoned on to the fact that just because he has a moustache, he doesn't look like every single other man out there with lip fur. Fat men, thin men, tall men, short men, dark men, light men, men with big bushy monstrosities, men with a trim line of facial topiary, men knocking on death's door, men barely out of nappies (well, unusually hirsute men barely out of nappies, anyway), it makes no difference, when we're out and about, it's almost inevitable that the sight of a moutachioed man will illicit cackles of 'Hey, Ben, look, it's you Dad!' Followed by gleeful high-fiving at their own wit.
