Mustache Nets
I ate a place called Austin Java a couple weeks ago with a few friends. Never before have I had breakfast quesadillas, but afterwards I was left wondering why nobody else serves them. Because they’re the best things I’ve ever had.
Anyway, at Austin Java (located in Austin, TX), the guys standing behind the counter and the guys bringing the breakfast quesadillas to the table all had mustaches. And it was all waxed, combed and curling.
They were handling my food and they had thick, full mustaches. Was I, at any point, worried that their mustache hairs might fall into my quesadilla? No. Mustache hairs never fall out. Ever.
Some people in New York, however, seem to disagree:
For people preparing food and drink, state law requires that beards, sideburns, and mustaches be protected by a “mustache net.” However, in recent years, a trend toward aggressive nostalgia in the hospitality industry has encouraged whimsical mustaches at the expense of hygiene.
Of course it’s just an April Fool’s Day joke. Because everybody knows no hair net will be able to contain a real man-stache and no “mustache net” is needed for a boy’s peach fuzz.
