A Shellsuit and Bling
It’s just not a good look is it?
However, I had the “pleasure” of sharing a bus journey earlier with a gentleman who for some unknowable reason thought it was. The black and purple shellsuit (0% organic content) was bad enough I felt, but the adornment of chains and sovereign rings seemed a little incongruous on top of this sartorial misfire.
Unfortunately it also appeared he also splashed himself with an aftershave amongst whose principal ingredients were sweat, urine and embrocation.
I’m not going to miss that particular bus-route I must say.

It’s the “cheap car, pricey stereo” mentality, isn’t it?
And relating to Pandemonia’s post, there is a theory that the Ark of the Covenant, of Indiana Jones and Jew fame, was actually a dry capacitor that collected static electricity from the hung fabrics of the tabernacle, hence its ability to kill on contact with a blinding flash.

Ooooh! Ark of the Covenant – handy to have in your kitchen to kill flies!

Got something to say?
Worth remembering that he?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s probably part of the Energy Efficiency brigade. Clothing that produces static ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú gold to conduct it efficiently and salts and acids to enable conduction. He was probably generating more power than the bus for the time he was on there.
On the other hand ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú generating static electricity?¢‚Ǩ¬¶ a Dalek plan perhaps?
Why didn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t you just borrow a lighter and put him out of everyone?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s misery? It would have taken only a seconds work and there would have been no evidence as shell suits burn at over 100000C
