Those who have ears, let them hear. Those who have bare upper lips, let
them be warmed.
As many Duquesne Law students may
have noticed, the overall style of our humble law school has dramatically
increased in the month of November. Small, subtle works of art have started to
sprout on the faces of those who care about the promotion of men’s health.
Movember is upon us, my friends.
Movember is the celebration of
all things warm, fuzzy and healthy. For the month of November, Bros, with the
support of their Mo Sistas, pledge to leave the razor on the vanity, throw
caution to the wind and allow the glorious mustache to do the talking. During
this month, we are determined to raise money and, most importantly, the
collective awareness of health issues affecting men the world over.
We know you have been wondering,
“I’ve seen the brave men gracing the corridors of our hallowed institution of
higher learning with their unshorn upper lips, but what is the reason behind
this overall improvement of my life?”
The answer, dear learned
colleague, is simple. Men often overlook their routine checkups and other
medical inquires because we are invincible, of course. Our mustachioed
colleagues are a reminder that yearly health and wellness checkups offer important
preventative protection. With screenings and checkups, prostate cancer, breast
cancer and many other conditions can be identified early, and promptly dealt
with. Yes, the humble mustache stands vigilant against the evil forces that attack
our very health.
Now you ask, “I see your noble
goal and your impressive stache, but what can I do to be involved?” There are
plenty of ways you can help. If possible, you can grow a mustache. If facial
hair is not part of your immediate future, you can purchase one at the table in
the upper lounge on Monday or Tuesday, donating online at http://us.movember.com/team/460393,
or attend the event we are hosting at Coppertops on the South Side this Wednesday,
Nov. 21. Great Lakes Brewery has graciously offered to hold a beer tasting and
general promotional event to elevate the mustache even higher than its current
perch on our upper lips. So, come celebrate with a $3 burger, $3 draft and your
mustachioed compatriots.
Down with cancer, up with the
mustache!
