- Yeah, the shit they are. Look, Mikey, I realize you're a poor
- Canuck fratboy and cannot be expected to have a spot of public
- manner, let alone fashion sense, but if you're ever going to

- There are two types of upper-body garments suited for extremely
- cold weather:
-
- (1) The "jacket." This is made of garish nylon filled with
- polyester or duck feathers. It is worn exclusively by
- two social classes: (a) children, and (b) snothead yuppies
- who take ski vacations at Vail.
-
- (2) The overcoat. This is made of wool. It is worn by decent
- folk.
-
- I trust I am making myself understood.
