The spaghetti head look!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Us old coots (me) often end up in a similar state &#8211; dribbling, dropping and spilling food and drink onto our surroundings and ourselves. Restaurants have to wash the table and mop the floor after we leave. But we don\u2019t just leave a mess behind; we take it with us too.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\u2019re the kings of stain! Food slobs! Spaghetti sauce magnets! I crave for the days of the 50\u2019s and 60\u2019s when reversible clothes were in vogue. Splatter your crap! No problem, just slip into a restroom (kind of like Superman slipping into a phone booth) and turn it inside out. The same thing goes with reversible jackets and pants.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Instead we walk around, strategically placing our arms across our chests to hide the mess on our shirts. When we get home we sneak into the house and hide it in the back of the closet.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Thankfully today\u2019s fashion is rife with torn and stained jeans and shirts. The kids buy them new, and at a pretty steep price; we pull them out of the back of our closets, for free. We have a whole wardrobe of torn and stained attire. It\u2019s probably worth a fortune on the open market. We\u2019re not hip on purpose; we\u2019re fashionable because we\u2019re \u201cUnstained Clothing Challenged.\u201d A condition for which there is no known cure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Comments? \u2013 Send to <a href=\"mailto:mlessler7@gnmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mlessler7@gnmail.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some old coots (me especially) are messier than two-year-olds sitting in a highchair eating pasta;
