“Would you eat a mouthful of someone else’s facial hair?” Or… “Would you encourage propagation of manufactured outrage on internet message boards?” ---

Perhaps there is a free-wheeling cigars and brandy attitude on the Dope which makes some men forget that they are not the only ones in the room. Thank you Ulfreida for bringing awareness to all the guys on this thread. ---

> [@Ulfreida](#): > > Yeah, it may seem stupid to you, but it is a continual thing on this board to assume that everyone reading your post is a man. If you are a man, you wouldn’t notice it, of course. Seriously? How many threads have we had about periods, bras, menopause, childbirth, etc? Call me crazy, but I’m guessing the default audience there aren’t men. :dubious: ---

If the bet has no limitations on how you eat it, I’d have no issue if it was packed into a series of gelatin capsules, swollowed with a drink like a normal medicine capsule.

> [@Chronos](#): > > OK, you specified two ways to title it which are gender-specific, neither of which is the phrasing of the actual title. Now how would you title it so it wasn’t gender-specific? While maintaining the distinction that nobody could eat their own moustache, of course. Would you eat someone else’s moustache? Would you French kiss someone who’s not your SO? (\<— if the “eating” didn’t happen to be literal, as it was in this case; this one also works when the someone is female and has no visible 'stache). ---

I have nothing to say regarding any chauvinistic undertones but just reading the title makes me giggle. Then this made me make a snorting sound that I tried to cover up by pretending to blow my nose: > [@](#): > > HMS Irruncible Is the mustache pre-shaved or do we have to gnaw it off the lip? > > Hard pass either way, but it might make a difference to someone. :p:p What a weird and hilarious stunt. It reminds me of the far more disgusting bit they do on the local radio station where one of the hosts makes “feetuccine” by using one of those foot egg things to scrape the dead skin of his feet and sprinkling it over pasta (then challenges a listener to eat it :eek: ) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-eat-another-guy-s-mustache/824706.md?page=1)
