It wasn't long ago when I would see guys walking around with their pants down to their thighs..................I always wondered just how they could do that. I came home one day and decided to give it a try just to see what it felt like...................didn't like it ................but found out that if I took short steps I was able to make it across the bedroom without tripping on the belt............so I decided to take the belt off. Now, to me if it's so in style to have everyone see your underwear....why wouldn't you just wear your underwear over you pants. Hence the song
"Pants on the ground
Pants on the ground
Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground"
As one ages, you simply start to pull your pants up........until you reach the age of retirement, when you not only can cut your suspenders in half but you can give yourself a "weggie" like you never had experienced before. AHHHH just right!!!
Guess all ages have had their style of fashion. I remember quite vividly, that in high school there was basically two styles of dress. If you were in with the athletes, like most of us all wanted to be, you wore chino's that were approximately 2 cuff widths off the top of the shoes........in order to show your white athletic socks. Shoes of the day were either white bucks or the sand colored bucks better known as "dessert boots", and a letter sweater. ( I not only lettered in basketball and baseball but also marching band. Now there was also a group (not necessarily nerds) they were the projector guys who would wear chartreuse socks or shocking orange. Plaid cotton shirts. and always had a pen or pencil protector in their shirt pocket.
For that "special night out" I had a charcoal gray suit, pink shirt with a pink piece of cloth in my breast pocket and pink socks (here again the pants were 2 cuff widths short) and my shoes were either penny loafers or tassel loafers (I still may have the tassel loafers). I think that suit lasted me all 4 years of high school...............just goes to show you how many "special nights" I had.
After taking a shower and getting dressed this morning, I showed up at the breakfast table. Margot looked at me kind of funny. Here I was dressed in my very best...............purple shirt by POLO, my green pants by DOCKERS................underwear by .....................FRUIT OF THE LOOM. red socks by .....NIKE and shoes by REEBOK I asked Margot what her problem was..............her only response was that I looked like a walking Ad for something.
Just checked out my closet..................I do have those tassel loafers...........................and they still fit. At least my feet are loosing weight!!!!!
