Dear Ludwig,

Thank you for your interest.

It is merely a turn of phrase. Dear Mama only possessed the one "moustache" - impressive as it was. It is a family tradition that we acknowledge the two separate entities that constitute a moustache of such magnitude - that the hairs on each side of the upper lip flow in different directions and, therefore, are referred to in the plural- like two rivers from a central source.

P.S. I hold you personally responsible for the repeated playing over and over on my brain for the past two hours of the Aunty Jack theme.

Ah Poirot, but did your dear Mama also suffer from 'testosterone poisoning' as well as moustaches?

Beware the dangerous testosterone (almost as evil as masculinity):

Ah Ludwig ,
You have released magical rivers of Testosterone and Oestrogen, flowing across the pages of OLO to brighten us all up !
All for that great cause of Peace and the Merry Christmas, good work!

Dear Ludwig,

Thank you for the Aunty Jack Song link.
I have just extended my eight year-old son's cultural knowledge of Australia by playing it for him.
He was enchanted - as was I (I think you are correct in your assumption - the resemblance to Mama is uncanny).
