Why is it that

[monkeyboy]

if you wear a cowboy hat..people feel inclined to call you things like "Tex", but if you wear a baseball cap no one ever calls you "Babe", or "Cal"?

I wore a cowboy hat when I was a kid, but no one ever called me Tex. I don't think I've worn a cowboy hat in years. I rarely wear a baseball cap either. I think if I'm ever called anything when I wear a baseball cap, it's "that woman in the baseball hat" or something like that. Why is it that when a woman wears boots she's sometimes called "babe"?

How come a man in a skirt is strange but a man in a kilt is dashing and debonair?

There really is nothing like a man in a kilt, especially if he's playing his pipes.

Beam me up, Monkeyboy!!

 

[cynsaun]

We'll call you Scotty if you'd like!

 

[monkeyboy]

And if you wear shorts no one calls you shorty

But yet, back to my original statement...

 

[grinningghost]

Personally, I'm not into the kilt thing. Even on Mel Gibson.

Pitt Says Men May Start Wearing Skirts After 'Troy'


By Erik Kirschbaum

BERLIN (Reuters) - Actor Brad Pitt (news) said Sunday that fashion-conscious men may be wearing Greek-style skirts soon after his big-budget film about the Trojan War opens this week.

At a news conference before the Berlin world premiere of the Hollywood epic "Troy," Pitt said he was happy to launch the sword-and-sandals saga in Germany rather than at home in order to pay tribute to its German director Wolfgang Petersen (news).


"Actors are loyal to their directors and Wolfgang is at the top of the bunch," he said. "It means a lot to him to bring the film home and I'm happy to be here."


Adapted from Homer's epic poem "The Iliad," "Troy" is about the legendary 10-year conflict between Greeks and Trojans over the abduction of Helen, wife of Greek hero Menelaus, and the siege of Troy by united Greek forces.


Asked if he enjoyed starring as the half-naked Greek demi-god Achilles in the film, Pitt said: "I'm naked all the time at home."


"Men will be wearing skirts by next summer. That's my prediction and proclamation," he said with a laugh. "The film answers to both genders. We were going for realism and Greeks wore skirts all the time then."


Both Pitt and Petersen said they were confident contemporary audiences would enjoy and appreciate the battle-filled film set in ancient civilization, even though television screens are filled with real wars now happening around the world.


"I'm not worried," Pitt said. "There's something in there for everyone ... I became an actor for roles like Achilles. The juxtaposition of an almost invulnerable man, an isolated character covering an immense heart inside."

Why is it that if you wear socks, people don't call you "saki"

That would be "un politically correct". But for some reason people call me shorty no matter what I'm wearing.
