All you have to do to see the accuracy of my thesis is look around
you. Look, in particular, at the people who, like you, are making
average incomes for doing average jobs - bank vice presidents,
insurance salesmen, auditors, secretaries of defense - and you'll
realize they all dress the same way, essentially the way the mannequins
in the Sears menswear department dress. Now look at the real
successes, the people who make a lot more money than you - Elton John,
Captain Kangaroo, anybody from Saudi Arabia, Big Bird, and so on. They
all dress funny - and they all succeed. Are you catching on?
-- Dave Barry, "How to Dress for Real Success"
