Since I don’t smoke, I decided to grow a mustache - it is better for the health. However, I always carried a jewel-studded cigarette case in which, instead of tobacco, were carefully placed several mustaches, Adolphe Menjou style. I offered them politely to my friends: “Mustache? Mustache? Mustache?”
Nobody dared to touch them. This was my test regarding the sacred aspect of mustaches.
ECD Alastair Green. Creepy.

Epic submission from Jamie Morris at KARO Group. Also, first Canadian submission.
To help raise awareness of prostate cancer during the month of November, the ad men of Team One* will be sporting some wicked ‘staches. So, what do moustaches have to do with the prostate? It’s a long story.
Originally, we thought about walking around wearing one latex glove. But that seemed a little creepy. Then we considered maybe a brown ribbon on the index finger. Again, this was not so well received. Finally, we discovered the Movember concept at Movember.com and it seemed like something fun—and courageous—to do.
So, if you’re an advertising professional whose made it through puberty, we want to see your ‘stache. Join our Mo’ Men group on Movember.com and email your photos to us, so we can post them here. Be warned, your significant other might not appreciate it—but your prostate certainly will.
*This event is not officially sanctioned by Team One or its holding company, and if H.R. ever finds out about it, we’ll all be strapped to a chair and subjected to involuntary electrolysis.
