I like atoms. (I collect them.)

'Tis a little known fact that people with moustaches often have hairy upper-lips!

[COMMANDO FORCES]

I grew a moustache when I joined the forces (whilst on tour down the Falklands and no, not during the war, I'm not that old) only because I couldn't be arsed shaving. Once I left it came off

I also grew a beard after the Gulf War, mainly due to 5 weeks leave.

[Mike Gloady]

We don't all facebook stalk each other you know!  ;-p

[COMMANDO FORCES]

Thanks Mike, but Colin mentioned hairy upper lips (after JayzusB.Christ)

Well did you know that many residents of Troublesome Creek, Kentucky have blue skin!
