Even worse, he was wearing a cowboy hat. Without directly addressing him, I looked at the lady beside me and said, "Can you show me a gentleman in this place?" She smiled and said, "I don't think I see one." He turned around and moved and apologized, too. All was forgiven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-9474891470196232672011-11-14T16:34:15.623-08:002011-11-14T16:34:15.623-08:003 drinks in 15 minutes?

During the past four of five trips, all to an island off the coast of Latin America, I decided that I would take it up a notch, and add a tie to what I usually wear when flying (dress shoes and trousers, formal shirt, blazer), and substitute tailored wool trousers for the off-the-rack kakhis I usually wear when fling to the warmer climates. Needless to say the contrast to what almost all the other passengers was jaw-dropping. I got visibly better service and more solicitous attention, even among the business section where I was sitting.<br /><br />When I was asked why I was "so dressed up" by the flip-flop/tee shirt/cargo short crowd my response was "Because this is the way I dress, and I like it," and leave it at that. Watching the cretins' work their way through what I might have meant from that was most amusing.Reggie Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04044215790585354363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-50501702851735826872011-11-12T05:32:06.620-08:002011-11-12T05:32:06.620-08:00It is for this reason that i never board an airpla...It is for this reason that i never board an airplane or elevator without a tie. I never meet a client or a capital source without a tie. In some cases to show respect in others to prevoke. <br /><br />I always reply that i do not wish to appear as though i am stopping by on the way to pick up something at HomeDepot.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08258681007386089907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-63510071233396818502011-11-12T05:18:29.430-08:002011-11-12T05:18:29.430-08:00Ha, yea I can relate.

When someone like Laguna Beach Fogey shows up in a bar dressed very well, people give him trouble for it. It is indeed a sad, sad time to be alive. In Europe, particulary Itlay, the situation is very different.<br /><br /><br />I, too, get hassled a lot for my impeccable dress. Sometimes people mistake me for being gay, but, as one of my new friends told me, "I thought you were gay when I first saw you but knew you weren't the second you opened your mouth."<br /><br />That same friend then asked me why I go to the trouble to dress up and well everyday. I responded, "BECAUSE IT PUTS YOU A STEP ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE."MGMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623290263980623068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-74102155617620416912011-11-12T01:47:39.829-08:002011-11-12T01:47:39.829-08:00oh yes a typical example of confonting the hoi pol...oh yes a typical example of confonting the hoi polloi and whereas im often tempted to point out the error of the ways of such creatures i have to content myself with using gentle sarcastic put downs which the dimbats dont recognise as insulting.<br />do you know in one horredous day i witnessed a cockney oik wearing black shoes with chinos along with a t shirt that can only have been a giveaway with a disney dvd and another clueless chap wearing a tailored suit jacket with jeans; oh dear.<br />the only appropriate response is to make a mental note of the war crime witnessed, shrug the shoulders with an olympian indifference and move on ; afterall the reason we laugh at such folk is because they cant be changed and epitomise ignorance is bliss; they must be ecstatic thenlord brett sinclairnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-25467592761319774922011-11-11T20:55:14.277-08:002011-11-11T20:55:14.277-08:00Well done, Cod; the only disappointment is that th...Well done, Cod; the only disappointment is that the evening ended without violent incident.garunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-54506790535573859352011-11-11T20:49:07.533-08:002011-11-11T20:49:07.533-08:00A.E.F ~ New York, as you well know, would be a ste...A.E.F ~ New York, as you well know, would be a step down.Laguna Beach Fogeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027025872132699493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-65411773618223576122011-11-11T20:16:10.943-08:002011-11-11T20:16:10.943-08:00Oh dear Admiral, sounds like you should start freq...Oh dear Admiral, sounds like you should start frequenting a better class of establishment, which might be difficult in OC.
