Maybe the costume works too well to be funny.
I thought it was over-the-top crazy, and therefore funny. People didn't laugh. I scared people. I decided to put the costume away. It is disrespectful to the poor and unwashed.
I put on this hat, with stringy hair coming out the back.
Then I inserted these false teeth.
The result is that I went from this:
To this:
The costume works better when I add a tee-shirt. I am not wearing overalls. It is just a tee shirt with a printed design of plumber's overalls and a hairy chest.
I keep the costume as a reminder about how we use cues to profile one another at first glance. We fit people into categories. The hair, teeth, and tee shirt define me.
Can't quite figure out the hairy chest on the wrong side of the tee shirt. Otherwise, it is an effective disguise which would allow you to vote twice in the next election. Since the Dems are getting the blame for multiple votes, we might as well get the rewards.
You didn't get the memo? Nothing is funny anymore. Someone is always offended, oppressed or disrespected by your words or deeds. Retire to your man-cave immediately.
