Grow a Moustache for Prostate Cancer Awareness in "Movember"!
The Movember Foundation is back at it again this year as it seeks to promote prostate and testicular cancer awareness by having thousands of men around the world grow moustaches throughout November.

For those of you who aren't familiar, "mo" is slang for moustache in Australia (from which the founders of the Movember Foundation hail).

1. I'm just not sure this will catch on
At first, I thought it was an article from the Onion.

Then it reminded me of the movie Boogie Nights...

2. Some local DJs are doing it.
But,like you say,whether it catches on or not,who can tell?

3. I guess I'll have to show my support by continuing to shave
Including my upper lip.

I had a moustache years ago, and I much prefer not having one.

4. Once again, I'm years ahead of the curve
The last time I shaved was in 1993 or so when someone asked me how long it takes to grow my beard. Answer: between three and four weeks.

5. Already have a moustache
And have had one for many years. Does that count?
