In Tom Angleberger’s new book, Fake Mustache: How Jackie O’Rodeo and Her Wonder Horse (and Some Nerdy Guy) Saved the World, regular kid Lenny Flem Jr. comes in possession of a mustache that allows him to hypnotize people into letting him do whatever he wants – including become President.
Now if there’s anyone who knows how to dream big about world domination, it’s a bookseller (we do a lot of reading; those books give us a lot of ideas, that’s why we love them.) So in preparation for Angleberger’s visit to us on Wednesday, April 18, 6p, we’re asking ourselves:
What would you do if you had a mustache that could hypnotize people?
Merrilee’s answer:
“Gosh, if I had a mustache that could hypnotize people….dang. I don’t know what I’d do. I think I’d get a couple of people and hypnotize them into being my servants. My twenty-four hour, constant servants. I’d get one person who was big and strong and could do anything to handle all the heavy lifting. And then another person to cook, clean, change the cat box. Basically everything I don’t want to do, which is anything that isn’t sleeping, eating, reading, watching TV or knitting.”
Would would you do if you could hypnotize people with your impressive facial hair?

This actually looked like a funny, interesting book. Very different, and that’s a good thing.
I’ve heard of a fake mustache but not a hypnotic mustache. Very interesting. Thanks for the post!
