The man in the gabardine suit is a spy. His bowtie is really a camera.
Was it warm? I didn’t get that from the OP.
I think it probably was a whoosh, but like so many things online, what started as a dry remark on society today has become something else indeed.
Should have made clear I was only making a joke in reference to the jacket (i.e., crazy people overly bundled in warm weather), which seems not to have been what Stoneburg actually wore in reality, warm or not.
Should also have mentioned that it seemed the OP was a whoosh or attempted satire to me also.
:smack: I need a new brain. Where can I trade this one in? Am I eligible for a refund?
There, there.

Come sit next me and tell me all about it.
Wait! Where are you going?
Being white and having a jacket just isn’t enough to attract the hot chicks any more.
The public transportation is the problem.
Be white. Wear a jacket. Drive a Porsche.
The girls will sit next to you, I’m sure.
Actually, you could be black or chinese or hispanic and wear a jacket and drive a Porsche, and that would probably work, too.
In fact, screw the jacket.
You just need the Porsche.
What was said after she started to walk away? I couldn’t make it out. Something about Nazis?
I’m not sitting next to anyone with a Manchester jacket on, bub. :dubious: <waltzes off tram at wrong stop>
At least it was a Member’s Only jacket. Or maybe she was only attracted to Bugle Boy jeans.
There’s another thread ongoing about when you started to realize you were old.
This thread has reminded me of another clue about getting old – when you don’t get it, you no longer pretend you get it to appear totally hip and with it. A blank face gaping fish-mouth stare is perfectly ok now.
Yup, I’m clueless too. My only conclusion now is that the OP is a politician with really poor communication skills. I don’t see this as a good convedrsation starter at a political event.
Or maybe… is there a Skinhead Party?
A Porsche? What are you, a racist or a liberal?
I thought the ManJack was corduroy? Do they make Bugle Boy jeans for adults? Aren’t they kind of like Garanimals? The other image of the MJ seems to be a type of Pea Coat, made out of corduroy… to each his own. To me, that’s a blazer. YMMV.
Or possibly a tool or a douchebag.
Didn’t Michael Richards claim to be doing the same thing?
Feh. That happened in America. The incident in the OP happened in Sweden.
Perhaps the young lady mistook you for a dick with ears?
Well I would certainly want to get a closer look at that.
A few years back I was waiting at the deli counter of a grocery that catered to First and Trophy Wives. At the time I weighed 250Lbs and was wearing a bright-turquoise shirt, but local moms kept being called on ahead of me.
I’m a white male, and fully accustomed to being Top Dog. Being deferred to was what I expected, and I was pissed it wasn’t what occurred.
Okay, it was some 40 years after I’d have that reaction, but I still noticed it.
I went with some lady friends to a gay bar once.
While we were there, me and one of my lady friends approached the bar at the same time. At that particular moment, the bartender was busy with other customers.
I leaned over to my female friend and jokingly told her: “Hey, I betcha he’ll serve me first before he serves you.”
I was alittle disapointed when the bartender served my friend first!
I’m not gay but still, I do have an ego!
[can’t quite hear it…] “…stars. Nazis used stars as well.”
If she’d have said “The Nazis had flair they made the Jews wear” she may have retained some credibility…
