Every year for our fishing trip we grow out mustaches... and it is glorious.

I think people with beards are hiding something from the rest of us.
No we're not. Any rumours you've heard that all bearded men belong to a single, secret global society are absolutely ridiculous. And next Monday's meeting has been rescheduled to Tuesday. Still at Dave's house though. .
Location: In a land without pants, or war, or want. But mostly we care about the pants.
Exp:
I can grow a good goatee, but a mustache all on its own never looks right - yet if I could, I'd grow a big ol' porn star 'stache and laugh and laugh at myself all day long.
Far as I'm concerned, an outrageous 'stache can go two ways - either you're the kind of guy who actually thinks you look cool, or you're the kind of guy who doesn't take himself too seriously. Intelligence enters into it nowhere.

Third option: Let's face it, the people who are really intelligent, the ones who are far more intelligent than anyone who watches hockey, we're talking full-on nerdsville pocket-protector dorkdom... have absolutely zero style sense. These dudes are smarter than any of us, and I'm sure some of them have thinned-out moustaches that are smaller than your grandma's. And they think their 'stache is stylin'!

Every so often I grow a mustache to simultaneously entertain my friends and piss off my family. Seriously. Nothing's funnier than showing up at thankgiving dinner with a porn stache.
For me, its mostly a situation of I would if I could. I wouldn't grow it as a permanent thing, but I would rock one every now and then for fun.
My dad has had a mustache since he was 6 years old. It would be hard to picture him without one.
Edit: To respond to the OP, there is no correlation between mustaches and intelligence. As for cops, I know that in India they receive extra pay for having one. They say it makes them more respected.
I grew a serious beard for a stag a few weeks ago. While shaving the beard I decided to keep the mustache to see how it felt. I'll tell yeah, I felt like a new man! I stared at women with out fear of being caught. I went and purchased a pipe because it just felt right. Suddenly my laugh became very deep... almost sexual.
I had to shave it right away as I wasn't sure if I could handle the power it provided.

A little better. Looks like you might have to bring it up another 25 years though.
Maybe you've unintentionally proved my original hypothesis. Can we find a smart guy, under 45, with a moustache in 2009 that isn't gay and isn't sporting it for irony? Maybe not!
