I knew there was something missing in my life! Where do I get one of these and will if fit on my genuine, bona fide Donald Duck Coffee Mug?

Damn! That would come in handy. Nothing worse than smelling coffee all day just because I was too lazy to trim the 'stache.

Sadly, I have searched flea markets and thrift stores all over Florida, and have not been able to find one of these. If I ever have the time to figure out how to fabricate one on my own, I'll be sure to put Expat and Maxx on my X-mas list.

Damn it! I don't have a 19th century moustache. Will this work with present-day facial hair?
