Beg Your Pardon


I can just about smell the pipe tobacco. And see the ascot that is soaked with the scent. Too bad the ascot is polyester. Dead giveaway. Skilled con men know that a detail such as silk or poly is crucial to gaining confidence. Same goes with the button. This is a cheap fake that once called home a hokey synthetic blue blazer lousy with loud buttons of a vaguely Lords 'n' Ladies theme. The owner of the blazer is at this moment probably trying to talk his way out of the vig. He won't be able to.

Found on the Brooklyn Bridge.
