Our friends with the American Mustache Institute constantly remind us all that, according to the Dead Sea Scrolls, an angel in heaven dies and falls to earth every time a mustache is shaved.
I’m not really a “chicken or egg” kind of guy, but I have to think that if the asterisk came before the Hebrew Bible, the Scrolls would have included the following:
Each time a mustache is shaved, an angel in heaven dies and falls to earth. *-except in the case of Movember
Now, I run you through all that to get you to this.
Milwaukee Brewers closer John Axford is shaving off his signature mustache.
But, as I alluded to earlier (kinda)…it’s all for a good cause.
Read!
Last day for the fu-man! Going to Movember Canada in Toronto to get it shaved to start new! Just so everyone knows…you’re supposed to shave ALL facial hair to start Movember. I just couldn’t because of prior engagements! Movember Canada was on board with the prior engagement…that’s why I got to keep it! Now I’m going to shave it to keep with the rules!
Say what?
Yes, the same mustache that has been immortalized on t-shirts!
And, yes, this is also the same lip sweater that helped the AxMan earn the title of “2011 Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year”.
But don’t sweat it, kids, the American Mustache Institute isn’t.
“Mr. Axford’s undertaking is for charitable purposes, and we trust that the Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year will fulfill his duties and continue to represent our community as he has throughout the past year,” AMI chairman Dr. Aaron Perlut said.
Whew.
