One day I arrived home and some hawkeyed family member yes, Homo sapiens, remarked:
"Hey, you have been wandering around town with your T-shirt inside out!"
"Yeah, now it explains why there were several pair of wondering eyes following Desi's footsteps as I danzed across the bar-room except I didn't see Cybill Shepherd among 'em!:)" my dry-rumoured reply.
And I gave me rationale, mousey wan mayhaps:
If people don't raise any eyebrow these teenagers cut holes all over in a new pair of Lee or Levi jeans (not Jeanne, K!) or Tee, before putting tem on -- oh holey coww! your .its are showing! -- strutting to the malls to meet their gf (assuming the wearer is male); or bf (assuming the wearer is female) or neither bf nor gf (assuming the wearer is an exhibitor...), why do peeps google at my inside-out T?
My nieces and nephews -- some Y&As like johnL's league -- have acquired my infamous one-liners. They help Desi fill in the silences at the dinner table so I could extend my second helping of sweet-sour porkleg plus vanishing raddish... Ah, that's the way to a man's tummy when you want him to open his wallet, woman ooouch dare!
As I was saying, creatives -- and Desi being a tiuted poet-aSspirant is one, no?! --
have a habit of doing things unconventional. They call it an idiotic sin crazy; but vvvvvvve call it uniqueNURSE.
Chow, if you see me at any Deepavali open house, and Desi has to take off his shoes, look at my socks -- quite likely one is of paler green than the other:)!
Please be discreet about thy obs -- don't shout like as if Desi has committed a capital sin. Yes, it's idiotic, it's crazy, butt bottomline,it's no sin!
Chow2, cockeyedwan!
