"If we are careful, we can eat our meals without spreading food all over our faces. But not so the hairy man…If you peer deep into the moustachy bristles sticking out over his upper lip, you will probably see much larger objects that escaped the wipe of his hand, things that had been there for months and months, like a piece of maggoty green cheese or a moldy old cornflake or even the slimy tail of a tinned sardine."

(Roald Dahl, The Twits)
