Stories about Mustaches and the proper wax-

Here is a quick tale of a man who liked the handle bar mustache because it made him look like he was always happy, and the use a wax to keep the curl. This man had been growing his handle bar moustache for some time during the colder parts of the year and had used a wax that had worked fine. Upon spring time he and his family had gone to a hot springs and used a few inflatable hot tubs to soak in. The water was a balmy +104 degrees and the man had a high curled mustache smile from ear to ear. Well not but a few minutes into his soak his family noticed that he looked like he was starting to frown. Come to find out is that the steam from the Inflatable spa had slowly melted his wax and had ruined the integrity of the hold. He had inadvertently used the wrong type of wax (water soluble) that morning and this had made his mustache look frowned. I know it is not a devastating incident, but having the right kind of mustache wax for the job is crucial, in this case, one that is not water soluble.
