That’s right kids, summer is right around the corner. It’s paying us a temporary visit today with the mercury reaching 90, but hopefully it will return to the south for a few more weeks. And what comes out in the summer? The flip flops, suntan lotion, shorts, and of course warm weather wouldn’t be complete without out of shape shirtless male retirees.
I swear AARP put out a notice this weekend that said if you are over 60, pasty white and out of shape…go out and mow your lawn. I’m sure they are in two camps. The first is: I’m old and it’s hot so I feel the need to mow shirtless. The second is: I’m hot and the ladies want me so I am soooo mowing shirtless.
Unfortunately for me, the gentlemen on my street belong to the second camp. I don’t know about all the other ladies out there but I am not about to throw myself at a sweaty retiree with socks up to his knees and a belly that makes it look like he is 6 months pregnant. Take a minute and picture that…..I’ll wait. Done? Good. Now do what I did and shake your head relentlessly trying to get that image out of your memory. You can keep trying but it doesn’t go away, trust me!
So to all those guys out there who may not be in prime condition, take a page from Jack Black’s fashion book…
