Beware of Policemen with a moustache
News from India of an unconvential way to get a promotion. Police in Madhya Pradesh are recruiting for a 50-strong elite motorcycle unit, and the main qualifications needed are your own handlebars - of both the bike and moustache variety. Normally associated with criminal gangs, a large 'tache is believed to dwarf and intimidate victims, a tactic the police hope to turn to their own advantage by giving police an increased air of authority.
Police in several Indian states can already receive a 30 rupees (about 40p) monthly bonus for cultivating their facial fuzz. Mayank Jain, district police chief for Jhabua, pays the bonus to 10 of his most hirsute officers and feels it's money well spent. "We have taken a decision to pay moustachioed cops a whisker more as they create a positive impression", he says. Chief Jain didn't explain quite how the bonus fits in with gender equality - we hope WPCs aren't forced to don a Groucho in order to get a pay rise

Re: Beware of Policemen with a moustache
Surely this is discriminating against those people who are unable to grow a 'tashe and can only cultivate a curious 'bumfluff'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
