Well, don't get me started on that. The total sartorial ignorance of most people under 50 is awe inspiring. How can so many people live so many combined years with no knowledge of proper dress?
I would feel better if the young were dressing inappropriately because they wanted to rebel, but the fact is they're too ignorant to now better. They wear tuxes and PCs at 11:00 without any notion that one should not do so, and they rental outfits perpetrate it by foisting the outfits off on the unwashed masses. Weddings end up looking like high school proms.
Just read what Jock says and do it. It's really quite simple.
I feel better now. I think I'll go back to the Home and lie down for a bit. It's almost time for my meds.
