Tied

Today I got all dressed up for a court appearance (contesting a speeding ticket).  Wearing nice shoes, slacks, button up shirt, and a tie.

Very uncomfortable.

With a mind as, well, how do I put it… empathetic yet controversial as it is, takes this dressing up versus uncomfortableness thing and tries to make sense of it.  I try to put myself in the “the man’s shoes” and figure out the reason they came up with their jackass ideas.  I couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

Why couldn’t “the man” (whoever he was, or whoever the group was collectively) just think about all the people on a hot summer day and decide shorts and a t-shirt was the nice and respectful thing to wear at events such as court, places of business, or any other special event?  This is my conspiracy: They did it to piss me off.

So anyway, here I am, it’s hot out and I’m wearing an entire suit minus the jacket.  Uncomfortable as I can possibly be.

What a stupid idea.  Why can’t we be more like India where their nice attire is comfortable and breathable.  Like the Kurta:

I vote that this country takes on a new endeavor to challenge this practice and blow this custom out of the water.  The Kurta would be an improvement, but I like the shorts and a t-shirt idea much better.

Who’s with me?
