Transcript:
In 1916, the British Army banned popular Charley Chaplin style mustaches among World War I soldiers for fear of being ridiculed by the enemy. Shhh! I'm taking a shortcut! Every stage winner and the final top four riders in the second Tour de France in 1904 were disqualified for cheating- their offenses included taking shortcuts, catching trains and riding in cars. In 1892, mussels rained from a yellow cloud in the sky over Paderborn, Germany.

You think that’s bad? Imagine what would have happened if a British soldier had been caught wearing one of those kinda ’staches during the SECOND World War.

I didn’t think anyone but Hitler and Chaplin wore that kind of moustache. Michael Jordan had one for a few years.

As for why it’s always just one sort of animal or object no one has ever come up with an explanation.

I don’t know how long sunscreen has been around, but today’s Tour de France contestants need to use a lot of it during the Tour. If sunscreen was not around during the second tour, two ways of getting out of the sun, yet keep moving, are catching trains and riding in cars, preferably on the floor in the back seat, where sun rays don’t reach.

If it rained mussels where I live, I would cook them for dinner.
