What MicMaven and Grim Reaper said.

We learned to set up vocal mics that way in school. We never used those pantyhose pop filter things. Unless the vocalist looks up a lot when they sing, the blasts of their nasty breath will blow past, below the capsule preventing plosives, and you get a little chest resonance thrown in to the bargain.

Later as a boom operator, we would aim the shotgun mic at the bridge of the talent's nose for the same reasons. Also to keep the mic out of the shot ;)
