As I believe George would put it....

What you morons need to understand is that to wear any thing other than White
Egyptian cotton, you would have to be an blithering idiot.  How many people have
to die before you strokes get a clue.  There is no excuse not to
have the right equipment.  Rayon, Silk, 50 50 blends.  These are nothing but
attempts by manufactures to take advantage of all you strokes.
The catwalks have displayed some of the most dangerous stupidity ever posted.
I am real sick of amateur bullshit opinions whether they come from 5th Avenue or
Pairs.  We do not need displays of drooling ignorance, such as long sleeves.  If
the insulation provided by 5 inches is insufficient you should abort your
excursion. I've been wearing T-shirts longer than most of you have been alive!
I learned the hard way.  The fact is that I know what it is like to come out
from hell with only Haynes on my back.
I don't buy cheap ass bullshit gear for Evening Dress, and only a stroke
would do so.
Suits are some of the worst examples of idiocy I have ever
seen, like collared shirts, with ties no less, have resulted in fatality after
fatality.
You can not get around the logic of the system, and when you start
adding other things, you are asking for confusion, trouble and mutations
that will end up killing somebody.
Are any of the basics of DIR making any sense to the strokes yet, or do
we need more research?

This was intended to be humorous and in no way reflect poorly on Mr. Irvine.
