I fondly remember the discussions about
this:
Fines for 'droopy drawers' backed
US politicians fed up with catching an eyeful of underwear want to fine those who won't hitch up their trousers.
The Virginia state house has voted to outlaw the trend of wearing trousers so low that underwear hangs over the top.

He's a lumberjack and he's OK, he sleeps all night and he works all day.
We're cultured... like penicillin...
Probably the reason is because we have so much old sh#t lying around, and as we're a fairly densely populated country, it's all so close together that you can't help it. Even the tiny village where my parents has 4 houses built in the 1600's, and at least another 10 that are over 200 years old.
He puts on women's clothing
suspendees and a bra!
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
he goes to the lavat'ry!
Sorry 'bout this...but i just HAD to! :wink:
Lumberjack Song
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night. I work all day.
Mounties : He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.
Mounties: He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.
Chorus : I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) okay.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.
Mounties : He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!
Chorus : I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) okay.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama (or Papa in later versions)
Mounties : He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?!
Chorus : I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) okay.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.
Yes, I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) ok-a-y.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.
So, I think that gives an answer to the title of the thread, in a way. Can a nation which spawned Monty Python be considered cultured?
Michael Palin (the singer of the above song, originally) is one of the best-loved faces on our TV screens, and he seems to get on well with all the people he meets on his travels.
His latest journey was through the Himalayas. Did anyone see that series?
Me...and Pole to Pole, michael palin is the thinking woman's crumpet! :wink:
(and the one in between, but I can't remember the name)
