If you add a top hat bearing stars and stripes, and a goatee, to a smiley, what do you have? Why, an Uncle Sam smiley, of course–the U.S. And with a wool cap, a chin beard, and a pipe, a smiley becomes a Canadian (Canadian dopers invited to comment on this.)  
Try identifying these:

1. a beret and a thin mustache.
2. A fur hat and a handlebar mustache.
3. A jeweled veil and long dark hair.
4. An auriscope and a stethoscope.
5. Dark hair on top and a big white mustache.
6. Long straight (light) hair and eyeglasses with large lenses.
