Boy’s coat, 1800, Germany.
Here’s something nobody wants to hear. Nobody wants to hear this. Try to think back to when this was appropriate to your life. You and your fiance have been invited to your mom and dad’s house for dinner, for the first time. Halfway through dinner, your fiance stands up and says, “I’ll be right back, I gotta take a dump.” There seems to be no really gentile way of announcing publicly, a dump. And frankly I’m not impressed with people who tell me what they’re gonna do when they go to the bathroom in the first place. Doesn’t that bother you? People who announce it? “I’ll be right back, I gotta take a shit” Never mind! Do what you have to do and leave me out of it. And don’t describe it when you come back. “Boy you should have seen—“ Never mind! “It set off the smoke alarms—“NEVER MIND!
