Shillue: Teacup with mustache protector

Comedian Tom Shillue, a pop favorite, was kind enough to send us this image that inspired him. The image? A teacup with a mustache protector. As he tells us, “This picture solves an old family mystery: my great grandfather, who fought on the side of Great Britain in the Boer War, often told a story of being called to a meeting in his commanders tent, who, despite having just finished his afternoon tea, was sporting a mustache that appeared ‘as dry as the sands of The Transvaal.’ This must have been how he did it!”
