Barney: Folliculaphilia.
Ted: What is that?
Barney: Ted, your perfect woman can only be attracted to men with mustaches.
Since I don’t smoke, I decided to grow a mustache – it’s better for the health. However, I always carried a jewel-studded cigarette case in which, instead of cigarettes, were carefully placed several mustaches, Adolphe Menjou style. I offered them politely to my friends:

Nobody dared touch them. This was my test regarding the sacred aspect of mustaches.

In the 1960s novelist Anthony Burgess described its preparation as follows:
- Into a pint glass [568 mL], doubles [i.e. 50 mL measures] of the following are poured: gin, whisky, rum, port and brandy. A small bottle of stout is added and the whole topped up with champagne….It tastes very smooth, induces a somewhat metaphysical elation, and rarely leaves a hangover.
