I May Be About To Insult The Heck Out Of You

I don't go out of my way to insult people. I only insult those that are deserving of being insulted. However, this is my attempt to make you see the error of your ways, if your ways have been in error.

My newspaper tells me that a well dressed tennis player needs to have a Berluti Shirt. The articles gave me selling points... Under "Knit Notes" I read where it has "A Thicker Open Weave That's Got Some Weight To It Yet Still Remains Quite Breezy".

For the price they charge, I think it would be only proper that a Berluti Shirt not have just "some weight" to it but it ought to weigh a ton. Also what's with "quite breezy"? After having to go into your savings account to buy this shirt, wearing it ought to be akin to standing inside an electric fan.

Here come the insult...

If you own a Berluti Shirt, you are not too smart!

Oh my gosh, I got ahead of myself. I did not tell you how much the Berluti Shirt costs. Actually I'm not going to tell you how much it costs. I will tell you that I recently bought a new tennis shirt for myself & I paid $14.90. If I had bought a Berluti Shirt, I would have had to pay $475.10 more than what I paid for my $14.90 shirt.

Oops. I'm having second thoughts. My new shirt did not improve my tennis game at all. Maybe I should have bought a Berluti Shirt. If I had, then I might not have missed that shot I missed last month.

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: A vivid example of how not smart you are by buying a Berluti Shirt... If you had bought one of the shirts I bought, you could have used the difference saved to buy 47.51 copied of my little-read book & given them to forever grateful people you know. Think how popular you would be!

Anonymous above, by asking that question, has burst my bubble. I consider myself a good communicator. If I were so, Anonymous would not have asked this question. I've seen the error of my ways. I went back & clarified my Foolishness. If you had already read this posting & you have not had enough of me for today, go back & read this posting again & see how clear I can be when I am clear.

I keep your " Clear & Thoughtful Thoughts " book in my bathroom. It may be time to purchase another one. I'm running out of pages to use.

Phew!! I didn't think you would do such a "foolishness" but wanted to make sure, in case, perhaps, the earth was slipping off its axis.

Any shirt that costs that much had better come with a pair of shoes.

The Mr. Anonymous who wrote... "A $475 tennis shirt............... well I'll just say I have never heard of such foolishness!!!"... did not quote the true price. The Berluti Shirt actually costs $490 plus tax & s & h.
