I sense a disturbance in the force Brintus... art thou frustrated w/Mark Cuban, or just with the social norm that places pocket protectors in the dress shirts of Math teachers? Or...<BR/><BR/>My take - I have a suit... & if you see me wearing it, you'll know that someone is getting married or buried.<BR/><BR/>I, like Cuban, don't have a "hate" of suits... I dislike the "you have to do it because everyone does it..." type of reasoning that goes along with it. <BR/><BR/>One scenario that always cracks me up is formal occasions on the missions field. We show up in suits & ties, despite the fact that its 110F & 99.9% humidity, & despite the fact that we're in a village that doesn't even have running water, & despite the fact that the people that live in the village are wearing a) little to nothing or b) traditional garb that fits the climate...scoeydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08206026108447779886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14167335.post-72563865381572054042007-02-08T08:30:00.000-08:002007-02-08T08:30:00.000-08:00I like suits okay, but I get a neck-ache from wear...I like suits okay, but I get a neck-ache from wearing a tie-- apparently, I move my neck just enough to tweak it. <BR/><BR/>Funny comment, Brent.JayBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16234575482209646675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14167335.post-41013680485388228452007-02-07T21:47:00.000-08:002007-02-07T21:47:00.000-08:00if i had a billion dollars, i could dress like a s...if i had a billion dollars, i could dress like a slob and then make a blog about it too.digapigmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799706304353850475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14167335.post-71770691086247768442007-02-07T18:14:00.000-08:002007-02-07T18:14:00.000-08:00Can you modify the color on your comments link? ...Can you modify the color on your comments link?

If I was a bil...I don't like wearing suits either.<br /><br />If I was a billionaire, I wouldn't have to.<br /><br />Oh wait, I'm female. I don't have to wear suits anyway! :)<br /><br />But I hate high heels and hose!!!! Why do women have to wear dresses, heels, pantyhose, and little cute jackets matching their skirts cleverly designed to emulate men's suits when they go to work?georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04617932161428088854noreply@blogger.com
