Yes, plain water. My doctor told me to cut down on carbonation. He said it made me "excitable." BTW, you should have seen what that nudge was wearing at the time.

The entire thread is so obviously a put-on.

If it was serious, he would not have shown a photo taken at a forward fitting with so many adjustments needed before the suit is finished.

There is a Chinese parable that says the best horse gallops when it sees the shadow of the whip. The average horse gallops when it hears the crack of the whip. And the worst horse gallops when it feels the whip in its bones.

Taking you a while to get up to speed, Kasper?

Kasper, this whole thread is a monument of respect. I started it for your benefit, because I respected your oft-stated desire to discuss Conservative Business Dress. Now you out yourself as a phony, as a non-conservative, and that's my fault?

And I haven't minted any new words. Scour this thread for neoligisms. You won't find any. The closest thing was "irrealis," thrown out to impress us by that blowhard Teacher. But it turns out, that's a real word.

Like the suits your friend picked up in London unfinished, but fully paid for?

Look again, bub. My suit is done, and it's conservative.

Manton, to benefit or to mock me? My sense of humor might be slow at times but I do know the difference. Next time maybe you could make it a poll to better assist you in ridiculing a fellow forum member, past or present.

You might not have minted any new words in this thread but it seems you have made your own meanings for a few. Since when has conservative meant messy?

It sure is conservative, since it doesn't seem to have evolved from any actual style. It appears to have sprung forth, wholly made, from the mind of God. You really shouldn't have taken a suit He made on the first day however. You might have waited until He had perfected his craft. It's kind of like taking a duckbill platypus for a pet instead of waiting for a dog.

Caffeine time for someone, methinks!

You've hired security personnel?

Are short sleeve dress shirts acceptable for conservative business dress? i got ink stains on the last few i had from stuffing them with the NY Post. Before I purchase more, i want to make sure that they are acceptable for conservative business dress.

I was in a meeting with VP's from a respected japanese electronics company and they were wearing short sleeve dress shirts. So I mean it has to be ok right?

All you can point to that's "messy" are the supposedly rumpled shoulders. Look, if you want to wear NFL equipment in a business enviornment, you're welcome to it. You can even call it "conservative" if you want. But just saying it won't make it so.

Yeah, my tailor is a boxer. Take it up with him.

I agree completely. Who wants a boring dog when you can have a pet that looks half beaver, half duck? The only mammal that lays eggs.
