Buffalo Bill Cody sported a mullet as he shot his way into the history books of America. We do love men that shoot, don't we?
Although a seemingly imposing figure, Cody was in reality a small man
that carried a big gun. He was rechristened "Buffalo Bill" at the age of 22. He earned his nickname for his skill while supplying Kansas Pacific Railroad workers with buffalo meat.
Buffalo Bill’s show business career began on December 17, 1872 in Chicago; he was age twenty-six. "The Scouts of the Prairie" was a drama created by dime novelist Ned Buntline, who appeared in it with Cody and another well-known scout, "Texas Jack" Omohundro. The show was a success, despite one critic’s characterization of Cody as "a good-looking fellow, tall and straight as an arrow, but ridiculous as an actor." Other critics noted Cody’s manner of charming the audience and the realism he brought to his performance.
Actor or not, Buffalo Bill was a showman.

Here's The Big Yin keeping the mullet fires burning...
Holy Hell, a source of mullet photos I'd never considered!
A man with true toilet humor and the mullet to match.
