Actual sentence just read, by me, in a history tome documenting the early days of Outagamie County, Wis. — “A fair sized audience attended the lecture on ‘The Rise and Fall of the Moustache’.” This is listed as one of the highlights of 1880, people. And don’t front like you wouldn’t have totally gone to that lecture. We all know better. UPDATE: Intrepid reader ncbeets was able to supply some missing context on the moustache lecture. Turns out, it’s the work of a sort of proto-David Sedaris, who traveled the country reading his comic stories to packed houses for 30 years. And you can listen to the whole thing online!
