BS: Why Do People Wear Such Silly Threads?!!

It takes so little time to choose something half sensible to throw on. Perhaps it is symptomatic of one who is lost in thought and more or less oblivious to the world around them. Come to think of it, that applies to much more than just clothing...

I seem to wear black most of the time.A customs official at London's Heathrow Airport, looked into my Travelling bag and said it was like looking into a black hole!

Nothing to wear.

I have different "skins" for my Honda Civic. That way it doesn't clash with my designer wardrobe. I simply couldn't go out in public any other way. It would be too, too gauche.

...because they're there!

As Larry McMurtry said of a character in Lonesome Dove:

He never was one to divest himself of a garment just because it had some age on it.

Work boots, green work pants, green work shirt, accented by various jaunty peaked caps. Oh, I actually do have denims with worn out knees, but only for funerals and such. And I NEVER wear my lid backwards like the kids these days. Unless, of course, I have gitten ta do on my Bomb.

I walk around naked whenever I can. It's rough doing that in winter.
