The Benefits of a Scarf

As you're all aware, I'm not a fan of the heat in this city. I've previously blogged my anger at thin people wearing jumpers when it's 35 degrees outside, as well as my body's ability to sweat from previously unknown orifices. Something that the heat also evokes in my angry mind, is how much I miss having a scarf nearby.

I'll elaborate. A scarf has many uses, most of which I had nearly forgotten, until today. Today my abnormally ugly colleague came in with the following afflictions, all of which could easily have been pacified by the application of a scarf to the affected area:

1. A huge pulsating pimple: With the careful application of a scarf around the neck and chin area, he would still be able to eat, drink and talk, and I would feel less like being sick every time i look at him.
2. A bad hair cut: By tying a scarf around his head, much in the style of the late Yasser Arafat, the shockingly awful hair cut, which incorporates an undercut, would be largely disguised, and I might just be able to get on with my day without asking him 'Why?'.
3. Bad tie and shirt combo: Although this might require more of a pashmina, it still counts as a scarf, and if carefully draped over the shoulders and around the body, the hideous tie and unnecessarily bright shirt would be hidden from view.

I suggest that everyone invests in a scarf. That way, if any of the above happen to you, or indeed, to one of your colleagues, you could easily rectify the situation and make your place of work a much more pleasant place to be.
