Juan Valdez

I was perusing business news last night and came across the story that Colombia’s coffee ambassador to the world – Juan Valdez – is retiring after 4 decades of posing in a poncho, straw hat and bushy mustache next to a mule (Conchita, we are informed.) Amazing. The guy is 71 years old. He was described as one of the most famous Colombians of all time albeit fictional.

Gee. They are looking for a ‘new’ Juan Valdez. Qualifications? He must have a mustache.

Must have moustache? Hmmm.

Perhaps I could apply. I don't shave my legs anymore and I'd be happy to throw away the tweezers forever.
