Went to a job interview once and rushing to make the train, put my
overcoat on over my shirt, forgetting my suit coat.
Didn't realize it until I was on the train.
This was when some "consultants" were expected to wear 3-pieces.
Got the job anyway.
I told one jomoca account manager who suggested I get a 3-piece,
"Sure, if I can expense it."
Never had one.
My wife got all my suits from rummage stores for 5 bucks.
One new Brooks Brothers she paid $20 for.
Of course that's me. I can understand others not wanting to possibly
wear the clothing of the deceased. I just figured the prev owners
gained weight and the suits wouldn't fit any more.
Doesn't matter. I did the suits proud. And I gots money for a boat.

When I stopped working I either gave or threw every business suit and tie
I
had away.

I told everyone in my family, young and old, that if anyone of them
planned
on getting married or dying, don't bother inviting me to the ceremonies,
because I won't wear a suit.

Did go to a wedding though .... decent pants, shoes and a shirt. No suit.
No tie.

Dude - even I have two suits, a couple of sports jackets and ties.

Mrs. Wave makes me wear them to important things like weddings,
furnerals, baby christenings, etc.

I have 4 nice suits probably 10 sport jackets about 20 dress shirts
a good variety of Dockers and probably about 100 ties.

Ties??
I was reading somewhere that doctors' ties are one of the worst sources for
germs etc.
You can imagine...all those sick people sneezing or breathing on them while
the doc does his examination.
The doctor touches the tie and then sees you next.
How often do people dryclean/wash ties anyway??
mmmmmm that's an idea..a spray something like Febreze Antibacterial Spray
just for ties.
If I could just get a fraction of the 'merican cruise ship passangers, who
pass through here yearly, to buy I'd be driving two BMWs to impress the
neighbours!

Don. I ain't no Doctor. But I figgah that letting them sit in a dry
closet they don't germ up anyhow, at least not much.

One thing cool about ties is that occasionally I'l wear a tie or so
that my grandpa had in the 30's and 40's


Vintage hand painted silk.

you gotta love 'em.

I haven't had 100 ties in my life, and I've had quite a few birthdays,
Christmas's and Father's Day's.

What do you possibly do with 100 ties?

Well, I don't' wear a different tie every day for the next two years.
That's for sure. and no neck tie fetish either. But my dad and his dad
had lots of nice neck ties, and they always kept them clean and neat
too. and never really threw any away. Since my father's passing a
year ago this past Wednesday (yesterday), I have them all. And I plan
to keep them with the same dignity as they did. Sure most of those old
ties (70's) are bizarrely out of style, but for the fun of it I'll
wear one to church occasionally. They may be comical head turners but
sometimes I get compliments on them too!

Ask Don how he stops the little Ranger 4x2 and the 2300 lb load. I would
bet that the little itty bitty transmission in that little Ranger 4x2 is
about at it's end of life.

I apply the brakes as needed.
After the big trip I noticed a burnt smell in the transmission fluid so I
took it directly to the dealer to have the transmission drained &
flushed. New fluid was added and all is right. It had less than 10K
miles at that time.
I blame the overloading on the trailer suspension collapsing, causing the
tires to wear right through the heavy steel fenders.
Your rubber tires wore through your "heavy steel fenders"? Sure, moron.

WAFM

Do you take stupid pills daily?
I mean what I say and have the photos to prove it.
I even have copies of the letters I sent to the Federal Dept of
Transportation, the Motor Vehicle Departments of three Canadian provinces,
plus the Nova Scotia Better Business Bureau after the local backyard boat
trailer manufacturer refused to fix the damage



Post the photos big mouth.

Why should he, because you demanded he do? If you don't believe
