They will still walk funny and have back aches as old men, long after they've gone back to pants that fit. <BR/><BR/>Did you know that the average "normal" American spine is WAY more curved than those of 1930? The cause? Here's a theory that's been put forward: The flappers. Women stood differently because of their dresses and their children learned from them. Now we need lumbar cushions, chiropractors and muscle relaxers to get us through the day while people in other countries carry great weight on their shoulders or even their heads while walking bare foot and smiling. If the theory is correct, that fashion left its mark on future generations of Americans.Ann Wilkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16829332828813130016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-64075628277517568282008-07-23T06:15:00.000-07:002008-07-23T06:15:00.000-07:00Having chased a couple of clowns dressed like this...Having chased a couple of clowns dressed like this in one of my previous jobs as a security officer, I say let them dress like this. <BR/><BR/>They invariably trip and fall down which makes my job easier. <BR/><BR/>Same goes for the two hundred dollar shoes they never tie. <BR/><BR/>And I would point out that the ACLU is wrong, whites wear their clothes this way as well. <BR/><BR/>Some problems really are self eliminating. <BR/><BR/>Respects,<BR/>S.

His pants were belted about mid-thigh, just at the bottom edge of his drawers. How he managed to walk I don't know; but it certainly illustrated in visual terms Chuck Norris' criticism of Jesse Jackson and the latter's comment on Obama: "Just because you have the right to say something doesn't mean it's in good taste to say it." <BR/><BR/>Oh, well. I used to wear a paisley shirt over tartan trousers. (Stewart Hunting tartan, in case you're interested.)
