There was a mannequin in Old Navy. It was wearing jammie pants that said “Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho.” I said to Arthur, “Do you suppose this is meant as a comment on her character?”
On top, she was wearing a t-shirt that showed a penguin in earmuffs with an igloo in the background, and the caption read “Brrrrr.” I said to Arthur, “Doesn’t that contradict the pants?”
Then I thought, Maybe it’s an object lesson. When my top is cold, brrrr, I’m chilly. When my pants are warm, I’m a Ho Ho Ho.
(Keep in mind that the cash register computers went down at Old Navy, so we were standing on line, next to this mannequin, for quite a long time.)
