Top heavy

We’ve all seen the old men wearing Hawaiian shirts, Khaki shorts with a belt, socks and sandals. (I promise, Gill, I will NEVER dress like that!) From underneath their shorts, spindly little bird legs appear. They often wear floppy hats. Apart from being gross violations just begging for the style police to show up, they also usually look top heavy. Wouldn’t take much to humpty-dumpty them right down.

Today I saw a big truck. A jet-black long-bed quad-cab thing. It had custom wheels – those silvery kind where you can see through the spokes. Also the tires were low profile – big 17 or 18 inchers but that can’t be more than an inch thick. I can’t imagine how rough the ride must be.

But the observation here is that the top didn’t match the bottom. This truck under normal circumstances with large tires, normal wheels etc. would have been a pretty nice looking ride. But with what I can only call “wheels of bling”, it looked like it was about to fall over.

Why would anybody – even someone with obvious money to burn – take a perfectly good truck and “goober it up” like that? This younger generation!
