There's Always One

It is currently 19 degrees in St. Louis. The high today will be in the lower 30's. I have said for a long time now that no matter how cold it is, you will always see some asshole wearing shorts.

Since the "Storm of the Century" last week I have seen said asshole EVERY DAY.

I don't get this. If you are stupid enough to wear shorts when there is snow and ice falling from the sky, why wear a coat? The jerk today had a thick coat, muffler, hat, and shorts! Why bother? Slap on some flip-flops and a tank top and go sun yourself. What I find so amusing is the idiots wearing shorts are always hugging themselves or hurrying to their next destination. Oh, what, are you cold?

I understand the motivation, they want attention. They want people to look at them, question them, maybe even come up to them. They want to be different from everyone else. They want to stand out, or make some sort of social statement. They think they are so omnipotent that by wearing shorts they will force summer to come back 6 months early. They have to prove their macho-ness. Whatever.

Hopefully the wearing of shorts will force cold air up their pants and freeze the sperm in their testicles, stopping them from having kids. People that stupid and stubborn don't need to breed.
