I don't know if you ever have a flash of completely ridiculous brilliance, but I was sitting at my desk yesterday, contemplating what I could do to celebrate Cinco de Mayo that wouldn't cost me money or get me fired, and had one of the aforementioned flashes of ridiculous brilliance.
A paper Pancho Villa mustache!
There are a couple of reasons I was excited about that idea. It's easily reproducible, it was totally cheap, I could make one using things I already had at my desk, and it seemed to fit in the same category as a giant sombrero in terms of its cultural relevance.
The best part of the day was when we had a team meeting and everyone wore the paper mustaches I made for them. So there we all were, a room of professionals, sitting in a conference room at a reputable company, paper Pancho Villa mustaches on our faces to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I laughed really hard at that realization, while we sat there, looking like we were pretending to be Pancho Villa.
