That was my dads favorite song until Sailing came out it 1980. He liked to play both of them LOUD.

When on the census, it asks for ethnic origin and you write in "Shriveled."

We send the best to die. The losers stay and breed our women.
That is poor herd management.
I'm not joking.

Which brings to mind a question.
It's impolite and downright rude to look at a woman's decolletage. Don't stare into the sun.
Yet even at work women wear outfits that expose some cleavage.
A man who has no such issue is expected to be buttoned up to the point of suffocation.

More of a statement than a question.
No argument women have a lot more freedom in what they wear than men do. In hot weather no one thinks twice if a woman wears a skirt and a sleeveless blouse to the office, but a man can't wear shorts and a tank top...

Of course you wear what ever to work, just don't expect to come back the next day

If you wear a tank top, you're not old.

It used to be...girls wore tank tops and men wore muscle shirts. Something has changed over the years.

Just thinking about wearing "...a suit, white shirt, tie, wingtips" makes me miserable. I'm thinking about specifying that I be buried in a pocket tee shirt.

I was in an entirely different group just now and the two other men were having a conversation about the ties they'd bought. That's when I left and came over here.

I'd guess my father had well over 100 neckties. They were required at his jobs. I probably have 30-40. The only time I wear them now is to weddings and funerals. Got some really nice ones with great patterns. Dad had a lot from pre-WWII through the 70's. Some were pretty wild.

One of my first part time jobs was in a department store where I was required to wear a neck tie. Many times I forgot mine and had to buy a cheap one in the men's department before going on the floor. I didn't like ties then and don't like them now.
