Putting the MO in MOvember!

This morning thousands of men around the planet woke up and shaved their faces just like they do every morning. Except this shave is a little different. Today they are doing it for a cause. It is a grand gesture that will prepare them to join the ranks of a brotherhood in the tradition of great MO Bros like Tom Selleck, Salvador Dali, Burt Reynolds, Borat and the Mario Brothers.

Because today is the start of MOvember, which is all about sprouting a fantastic MOustache for charity.

“But why a MO exactly?” you may ask.

It all began in the Land Down Under where a small group of inspired gentlemen realised that their MOs had the power to make the world sit up and notice. So they used this MO power to raise funds for charity. First their new whiskers came to the aid of other whiskers by raising funds for the animals at the RSPCA. Then seeing that their MOs marked them as very manly men indeed, they turned their efforts to raising awareness and funds for men’s health charities across globe through the MOvember Foundation.

So, gentlemen, what are you planning to do with your upper lips this month? Why not join the MO Bros around the world and celebrate MOvember in true MO style?

Go, right now, and shave your face so that you can sprout your own proud lip caterpillar over the next 30 days. Start by clearing all the hair from your face and neck. (Important note: it is not necessary to shave your head.) For the whole month of MOvember you must grow only the hair on your upper lip. No goatees or sideburns are allowed. You may style your MO but over-trimming will defeat the object of the exercise.

You may also want to practise a few good excuses to explain your transformation into a MO Bro over the next month.

Here are a few choice comebacks suggested by the Movember Committee.

•    "I'm raising MOney for charity"
•    "MOvember - say MO nore"
•    "I wanted to look like your grandmother"  

But the best way to keep your MO pride and make the most of its power to attract attention is to join other MO Bros in your area and take part in local MOvember charity events. And you can even recruit a few MO Sistas who will support you and perhaps even sport their own fake MOs as a sign of solidarity.

Grow your MO and let the world remember MOvember!
