People will NOT take you seriously if you are wearing tie-dye.

Okay, I admit it, I did it, knowing full well that no one I spoke to today would take me seriously.
Last week I bought a tie-dye shirt.
I don't know why.
I did not come to my senses.
I was in a really good mood.
I liked the bright colors.
So I bought it.
and I wore it today.
With some faded jeans.
I wore a denim vest over it, thinking that would cover up and tone down the colors a bit.
I liked it.
But tie-dye apparently makes people ask you inane, stupid things like "Did you make that yourself?" or "Gee, were you a hippie?"
It doesn't make YOU stupid.
It makes other people stupid.
Maybe it's the bright colors.
I don't know.
Maybe they are just idiots anyway.
