I was shaving today and by accident I kind of made a Hitler style mustache, and I was wondering what would happen if I wore this around town. So I walked around the house with it for a while and my wife started laughing and told me to shave it immediately becuase it was rediculous looking, but not offensive.

I see a lot of mustaches and goatees but I never see anyone with a Hitler mustache. Is that because it's offensive or because it's just out of style?

Yes, stupid not offensive. It looks even better with horn rimmed glasses and white walls. Toss in a Member's Only jacket and you will have achieved (Beat me and take my money) status.

Why am I all of a sudden trying to imagine Charles Manson with a Hitler stache?

Article I saw a while ago. The author talks about exactly this.

The Toothbrush mustache is the most powerful configuration of facial hair the world has ever known. It overpowers whoever touches it. By merely doodling a Toothbrush mustache on a poster, you make a political statement. Actually wearing a Hitler mustache, as I planned to do—well, that is like yelling racial epithets in a crowded subway. Wasn't Hitler amazing? Whatever he touched turned to ice. His life ended the long and fabled career of the name Adolf, which had included the stories of Adolph Zukor, Adolphe Menjou, Adolph Ochs, and Adolph Coors. Never again will a pregnant mother innocently consider the name for her son, or imagine shouting it across a teeming playground. As for the Toothbrush mustache, it did not only die with the Führer—it was embalmed with him. It was his essence, and so it has been relegated to the black book of history.

I can see where it'd be offensive to some.

I think it's a shame it's so tied to Hitler. I kinda like it.

Would me calling easter Zombie Jesus Day offend anyone? I find that hilarious.

No, It's a good thing he ruined it because I think I would go around punching people in the face for making me look at such a stupid mustache.

It wouldn't offend me, but it would confirm that your sense of humor is sorely lacking.

I've been rocking a version of the hitler moustache with a chinstrap and soul patch. Takes the heat off the Hitler part of it, while still getting the small patch on the upper lip in the equation.

Hey, anyone that rises from the dead 3 days after they die... is a zombie.

Awe...now you are going to hell.
