Very entertaining thread. I can contribute a highlight and a lowlight. Circa summer 2000, very hot day, I sported a DB seersucker suit with white bucks, white spread-collared shirt, and I forget the tie. Walking through a parking lot, I hear some teenage knuckleheads laughing at one another behind my back in Pee Wee Herman's voice. You either know what I'm talking about or you don't. Late 2004 on a business trip in the Atlanta area, wearing a navy blue pinstripe suit (jacket on the back of my chair), blue buttondown, red and blue repp tie, black cap-toes. Very non-descript, like a politician's outfit. So anyway, I was having lunch alone at a Chili's (I know, very high-brow) sitting at the bar, when a female approaches, and asks if I watch Regis and Kelly. Aside: is that a loaded question or what? I respond in the negative. She goes on to say, well they had a special on "Hunky Husbands" this morning and you look a lot like one of the guys they featured, except you might be a little taller than him. My internal dialogue: hunky? Looked like she was entering the place with a group of work associates for lunch, and not really hitting on me, but just sincerely saw a resemblance and had to point it out. I was very flattered and quite literally blushed a deep red. I managed to stammer out a reply of, "Thanks, that's very kind of you." And I personally find it quite sad that I remember every detail like it just happened. It made my day. Nobody ever compliments anybody anymore. Where's the love?
