Oh wait, wrong Brock.
That's his signature suit Bacon. We all have a (or used to) special suit that we loved to wear. In fact my favourite was one of the same colour.
I have a funny story about suits that I want to share with you Bacon and whoever else wants to read it.
I used to have at least five 3 piece suits in my wardrobe and got rid of them a few years back. Actually quite a few years back.
Then my son decides to get married in May so, off I go to the Big Mans shop at Norwood.
It's run by three middle to late aged women who are marvelous people to deal with. I explained our son was getting married and I wanted a really nice not too expensive suit and a nice after 5 dress shirt. It was so easy and it was done and dusted within a half hour.
So, as I was paying for the suit one of them said that I looked very nice in my suit. I said, "It's a bit more than what I wanted to spend as I'll only be using it twice".
They all looked up and said in unison WHY? I said once for my sons wedding
and once for my funeral.
With that the older one got upset and was almost in tears as my wife (Donna) was trying to console her and told her I was only joking.
Well the other month I had to go there again and get some sleeping clobber and a dressing gown for my Hospital stay. I told them I was going in for some tests on my heart and lungs etc.
Anyway, as we were paying for the items I said, "If the tests aren't in my favour I might get to wear my suit for the second time earlier than I had expected".
With that the older one started welling up with watery eyes and said she'd say a prayer for me and went out the back sobbing. Well, the missus had to explain again that it's my way of disguising that I was a little uptight by joking about it.
I have a couple more tests to go and a visit to the specialist to see what's up and if all is well I think I should go back there and let them know, LOL.
