Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 13, 2009

The male model in the Hathaway ads wore an eye patch, like a pirate, and the caption said: “The man in the Hathaway shirt.” You really stopped to look at those ads to see what was so special about the shirt that it’d take the attention from the eye patch

no idea about Hathaways but during my time in the Corps I went out of my way to purchase a certain brand of Uniform shirts that cost quite a bit back in 1987. I only wore them for 2 1/2 years. They now sit in a sea bag.

Mr pocket protector will not be happy when this whole deal shakes down, and he’s got nothing but a headache.

you “haven’t worn a regular tie,” hmm? does that mean you wear bow ties? ascots? (sorry, Joe, i couldn’t resist.)

Judging by Joe’s avatar, probably a bolo tie.

I believe that I had a Hathaway shirt many years ago. Extremely good quality. I can’t remember what happened to it, but it may have been related to a lack of pocket protection. Remember kids, always use protection!

The spots are always there, so they’re liver spots - unless he has chronic forehead sweatiness. The latter could be an occupational hazard for Hollywood agents, maybe?

That’s because it’s a “four in hand!” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-in-hand_knot

(I first heard the term in an “Uncle Scrooge” comic book!)
