I love how when the only man coming to writing group is delayed, the ladies all set to talking about bra shopping. It makes me glad to hear (and sad, too, of course) that it is a universally trying process. No matter your cup size or circumference about the chest, there's always something that makes it impossible to buy bras at one point or the other. I'm not saying that we should be glad of this, but it's nice to know that women are as unique as I like to think we all are.

It also occurred to me in our discussion of prices that it's not fair there's not similiarly expensive must-have for men. I suppose a sports cup comes close, but not really. Makes me think of this presentation we saw in health class in high school about gender equality. Made me think of subconscious ways in which the gender war has gone in the era of political correctness. Yes, we should be damned worried about the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but there are still other, less obvious deficiencies that need looking after. One of them is the bra, oddly enough, more specifically the Wonder-bra. The presentation in health class I saw proposed we institute the "wonder-jock," a device to make a man's package more prominent in the way the wonder-bra enhanced smaller bust lines and put larger ones just that much more out there.

I think there was a proto-feminist rant in there somewhere, but I haven't the energy to keep it going.

Note that $300 would buy a man an ok to good quality suit. I've seen good suits go for $500-$600. Now if you want to talk about the "great" category, then we can easily start talking $1000+

Easily. Dayle -- ask your father what he pays for suits he considers suitable for the office or court.

That's just it--aside from his two Matlock suits (a tan one and country blue one), they all look the same to me. Wouldn't be able to tell one from the other, so why would any one else? You rotate in the lighter ones on occasion, and people will think you change your suit everyday. Easy as lying!
