Now you don't really know if they are pajamas.. or just look like pajamas to you :))

Coolie hat.. .. I really really do not believe you at all... I think that is a load... the pajama looking clothes.. sure...

I don't see Chinese with coolie hats here.. clothes that look like pjs still sure.. lots.. the elderly...

when I was younger working at the family biz I used to do income taxes for employees..

The truck drivers (driver/salesmen) made great dough.. couldn't do their own tax.. not a language barrier.. all their income was their paycheck.. (BTW I did the payroll among other things so I knew each employee, name and badge number.. the old ladies got a great kick outta a white Chinese... knowing their names and calling them out before they flashed their badge ... I digress.. ) So I did taxes for them also.. feeling sorry for the poor old ladies .. wearing their traditional clothes.. and trundling home with their shopping bags... What a revelation to discover that their returns were far more complex... rental income up the wazzoo.... Most look like bag ladies but were very wealthy...

This was my family biz Since sold to McCain Foods... downhill since :( wongwing.ca

Our original logo had a Chinese man with a big smile and a 'Coolie' hat.. but McCain decides it was too controversial... The company's soul began to die with that change..

So yeah I think a lot of this PC stuff is horseshit..

But Intrepid.. now YOU KNOW they are NOT pajamas... yet... Not sure why you choose to be that way... Guess it takes all kinds...

anyway..

A very wise person on SI whose opinion I treasure once told me NNBM... so cheers:)
