Movember.

If you're a bloke, in November you're supposed to grow a moustache.  I did have a moustache period in my thirties, I think it was, but it didn't last long.  What I do remember is it was a bit of a pain when it came to eating and drinking, and this brought to mind that back in the Victorian days there used to be moustache cups - these were tea-cups with a ledge about a third of the way across that had a gap by the rim that allowed you to drink while your moustache rested on the ledge. Brilliant idea.  You may still be able to come across them in antique and bric-a-brac shops.
