There's a great little snippet box in the guidebook we used for India, which is about the thriving film industry in Tamil Nadu, where, instead of the very pretty actors like those in Bollywood movies, the heroes are more realistic. And then the author of that box explains that by realistic, he means, "chubby and moustached." Which they are! It's hilarious, really, except, I imagine, if you're Tamil, since that's what the majority of the male population looks like. But since it was funny to us, I spent much of the trip giggling every time David would intone, "chubby, and moustached" after seeing someone who particularly fit the description. Naturally, David had to try his hand at the moustached bit, and this is the result:

I laughed uproariously and them immediately made him shave it off. It's just a little too icky looking. Besides, he's nowhere near chubby enough to really pull it off.
