DRESS

THE MEN FROM THE MIDWEST, (OHIO, MICHIGAN, MISSOURI,
ILLINOIS, WISCONSIN, ETC.) WHEN DRESSING, LET THEIR
UNDERSHIRT HANG OUTSIDE OF THEIR UNDERSHORTS. MEN
FROM THE EAST (PENNSYLVANIA, NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, ETC.)
TUCK THEIR UNDERSHIRTS INTO THEIR UNDERSHORTS. I FOUND
THESE HABITS EXISTED ALMOST UNIVERSALLY IN BOTH
SECTIONS AND EACH GROUP WOULD RIDICULE THE OTHER
FOR HIS MANNER OF DRESSING.
