Vests and other useless articles of clothing!
Posted by Julia Bendis
Follow JewishJournal.com on 
Let’s talk about Vests. Maybe I am the only person that doesn’t get this, but what is the point of a Vest? And more importantly, what the hell is the point of a warm winter jacket if its missing sleeves! I don’t get it.
If you need a warm jacket or coat to keep you warm, what in world would possess you to buy one that has no sleeves??? Let’s follow this logic:
- You go to a store to buy a warm jacket.
- You walk around looking at various ones.
- Oh look, here is a pretty one.
- Oh look, it has no sleeves. Perfect.
- My whole upper body will be nice and warm, but my arms will be freezing. Perfect.
- I’m buying it!
Really? I don’t care how cute it is, or how much fur it has, you step outside in that thing in 50 degree weather, you will be sorry some idiot cut off the arms on it.
