Fashion police

Funny thing happened on the way to work the other day. Well, it was terrifying until it was funny.

My walk to work takes me past some big embassies, like the UK and the US. That means the road is inhabited by police with machine guns.

So you can imagine my horror when one of them started yelling at me. I thought I had stepped into a forbidden zone. I was getting ready to say goodbye to freedom and such.

Then he made the universal sign for “Your fly is undone.”

He laughed. I laughed. My ego laughed. Then my ego turned bright red.

However, it’s nice to know that being stylish here is the law.

And before anyone asks: Yes, that was a gun in his pocket. Although he did seem happy to see me.
