Anyone who gets so uptight in a shirt and tie that they can no longer 
work has got bigger problems than their dress sense. Let's hear them 
explain their mental anguish to the poor sods in the McDonalds

: happened to you.

And what makes you think it hasn't?

Relax, man. It's only clothes. It's only 33% of the hours in 55% of 
the days in 53% of the average life. There's the other 93% of 
existence to worry about.
