I should let you know--those of you with a keen interest in manliness and the things that accentuate your masculinity--that I have stopped wearing flip flops during the Jack Bauer Era. Yes, I know that during these warm summer months it would be nice to keep the feet cool and put on a pair of sandals or flip flops before you go to Trader Joes or do whatever errands you must do.
But you must gear up with shoes and socks, no matter how warm it is outside. For one, we learn from watching the heroics of Jack Bauer that any moment can thrust us upon danger without warning and we must be ready to react. Running full speed is not a pretty sight in flip flops. Nor is having your pants sink below your ass. So wear a belt before you go outside.
Let's be clear. Whether we are saving ourselves or some damsel in distress, we must look sharp when we do it. Dorkiness and heroism don't mix.
