When that TV ad for the double bladed razor came out, showing how the first blade pulls back the hair, & the 2nd blade cuts it short before it has time to pop back into place...Dad figured it would work the same way mowing the lawn.

So he acquired a 2nd mower & had my brother follow no more than two paces behind him as they mowed in unison. A neighbor commented how remarkable it was that he could push that big heavy duty mower in a straight line with one hand while holding a highball in the other.

He had Mom buy him a robe to drink in after work. He specificly asked for a silky navy blue robe with white polka-dots. He decided he didn't like the way the sash felt tied around his waist, so he sewed it straight up the middle and wore it unbelted...outside, when he was barbequeing on the patio.

I asked Mom if that embarrassed her and she people driving by probably thought it was a big ugly fat woman wearing a muu-muu.
