I dislike the "you have to do it because everyone does it..." type of reasoning that goes along with it. <br/><br/>One scenario that always cracks me up is formal occasions on the missions field. We show up in suits & ties, despite the fact that its 110F & 99.9% humidity, & despite the fact that we're in a village that doesn't even have running water, & despite the fact that the people that live in the village are wearing a) little to nothing or b) traditional garb that fits the climate...

My take – I have a suit… & if you see me wearing it, you’ll know that someone is getting married or buried.

I, like Cuban, don’t have a “hate” of suits… I dislike the “you have to do it because everyone does it…” type of reasoning that goes along with it.

I don't have to wear suits anyway! :)<br /><br />But I hate high heels and hose!!!! Why do women have to wear dresses, heels, pantyhose, and little cute jackets matching their skirts cleverly designed to emulate men's suits when they go to work? I don’t like wearing suits either.
