Sympathetic Weather

Excruciating minutiae.

Why so formal, disabled vehicle driver?

On my way into work this morning, I passed a vehicle that had been pulled over to the side of I-77. The driver was outside of his car, changing a tire. Par for the rush-hour course.

As I whizzed by, however, I noticed that said driver was wearing a tuxedo. The jacket was off, and I could see the bow tie and cummerbund. Now, this strikes me as out of the ordinary for a Monday morning. It's not like he was a limo driver changing a tire on a stretch livery vehicle. It was a teal Honda.

So the rest of the way into work I imagined why this fellow might be so formally dressed at 8:45 on a Monday morning. Was he in a wedding last night, and now must do some sort of drive of shame back home from a hook-up with a bridesmaid? If so, why bother putting the cummerbund back on? Is he trying to resurrect everyday formalwear? Is he tooling around in his Honda, hoping to find a woman in a corset and hoop skirt? Is he an out-of-work emcee who's having trouble accepting reality? Is he part of a Men's Wearhouse guerrilla marketing campaign? Is he John O'Hurley?

He is probably a limo driver on his way into work. Bo-ring.
