As detailed previously in the blog. The three amigos as it were journeyed to the Large and Lanky Store for a suit fitting for the Police States wedding. When one goes to such a establishment one does not wish to be greeted with the same sight as we were. Infront of the store was a mannequin dressed in a hawaiian shirt. Nothing wrong with that I hear you say. But the mannequin was also wearing a Gorilla suit!! I don't mean to sound like a oversensitive larger person but, that is a little in poor taste and even a little offensive. I know that larger people are supposed to be jolly and all that sort of thing. But basically calling your clients large Hairy Apes is pushing things a little.
The sizing session was a interesting affair. The gentleman who served us gave us each several looks up and down whilst nodding his head and making strange noises. He also used interesting phrases such as: We have two hurdles to jump here your waist and height. It may be a bit of a speed bump for us. Whilst trying on my suit he said it fitted well and that my main problem was my "high water mark" as he patted my belly. I am not so sure if i appreciate my high water mark having so much attention.
Being the clowns that were are and also thinking that we are quite amusing the friendly jokes and barbs lasted the hour and a bit we were there. The gentleman would not even smile at these very hilarious remarks. We talked about how it could be possibly depressing to look after large sweaty gentlemen all day. It was at the point we noticed that the air conditioning was rather cranked up. We guessed it was in a attempt to stop the onslaught of smells emanating from the large sweaty gents.
I am glad that is over as fun as it was. All we have to do now is not put on any weight before November. Which may be a challenge.
Till Next Time Watch the Speed Bumps,
