On the way back to the office this afternoon I spotted a young guy wearing sagging jeans with his drawers showing. This has gone on for so long that it’s barely worth mentioning but how freaking ludicrous is that? I mean I was once young, had long hair and dressed stupidly but now I am old, have no hair and dress for function.
Seeing this young man also made me wonder. Which came first — drawers, as in underwear, or chest of drawers? Well, I don’t have time to sit around looking such mundane stuff up and besides, it is more fun to speculate. One would think the drawers, undie-type, would have come first then someone built a drawer, furniture-type, in which to store the drawers. But human nature is such that one is the loneliest number. Perhaps it’s even a sin to have only one of something, at least in the Puritanical way of thinking. Thus, came the invention of the chest of drawers so more drawers in which to put one’s rapidly growing stack of drawers. Pretty soon you have a house of cards and you’re up to your vitreous humor in underwear.
As an aside, when I was a kid I used to think people were talking about a person named “Chester Drawers.” That’s kind of like wondering if Johnny Rivers was singing about a man who pretended to be Asian as in “Secret Asian Man.” Ah so, late Old Dirty Bastard of Wu-Tang Clan!
On a different note, my friend Suzie in Arkansas is doing some new things the only one of which I will note is starting a blog to, as she says: “counter act” my liberal views. Imagine that. Her blog is the benignly, almost even liberal-sounding “Sunflowers in the Wind.” I say liberal-sounding because liberals love sunflowers and wind while conservatives kill kittens. Then again, I think only a person with a profound need to be verbally-abused and hated would name their blog “The Cat Murderer.”
Today Suzie blogs about a computer virus purporting to contain naked pictures of Nancy Pelosi and how Democrats lie. Well, first off, if such a virus existed there would be no chance of my computer being infected because if there was anything I wanted not to see other than naked pictures of Ann Coulter in the buff it would be naked pictures of Nancy Pelosi. That’s just sick!
Secondly, Democrats lie. Republicans lie. George Washington lied. I would venture to say everyone lies. But believe me Suzie, I sure wouldn’t want to see naked photos of Nancy Pelosi and I ain’t lying.
