THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. When I am in a stifling suit and tie in the ward building whose air conditioning is faulty at best, I am so jealous of the women in their sandals with lightweight dresses. They aren’t even wearing nylons. I have a low tolerance for heat, I’d rather it 65 than 85. When I rarely do wear a jacket, it immediately goes on the chair beside me.

Normally I have only shirt and tie on, with my sleeves rolled up. I say we should only have white short sleeve shirts and unbuttoned collars.

Unfortunately, with the office of the priesthood comes many sacrifices…

But maybe the Prophet will read this

Since when does a suitcoat improve spirituality? The rule in my mission at zone conferences was that everyone kept their suitcoats on unless the presiding authority removed his. Serving in Northern Mexico, I guess I chose to "often look like a lobster fresh from the pot." Now that I know it's kosher, I may show up for church next Sunday in a tuxedo vest.

Call me a Gentile, but am I the only one who thought of the Seinfeld episode with the”Bro/Manzier”?

“The heat naturally has no way of escape except through the skin of his face – and perhaps his head, if he has been fortunate enough to lose his hair.”

Ah, yes, there’s nothing more fortunate for a man than losing his hair.

Ah, but the real question to ask is; Wearing his proposed clothes, would he have been able to get into the testing center at his beloved BYU?

Personally, I’d settle for just getting rid of neckties!

I love it when posts collide, Carol. And Ben, while I can't find a really good, really revealing photo, this one suggests that Merrill was well on his way to being a fortunate man.
