ABF

I want to licence the bermuda purchase. I want to cancel the bermuda purchase licence once an individual crosses 35 yrs of age. They only threaten small children showing their to-be polio attacked legs and worn out bones. Children start losing hope at a small age and believe, anyways they will develop those kinds of legs later in their life. One of my neighbour's son aged around 6 to 7 yrs, slipped into coma on seeing his dad's thighs.

His dad is a first generation software engineer or any engineer for that matter, from some small town down south. He would have worn his brother's pants and shared them with his friends in hostel. Now, he not being very sure about the ways of the city bred jokers, and trying to ape them, got a bermuda which is no longer than a boxer. Poor soul, should have really felt ashamed when he came out of the room wearing it and bigger shock was his son slipping into coma.

What do these people really want? Do they need the comfort of a bermuda or a status wearing a bermuda? Or is it the feeling of being a 10 to 20 year old is what they really want? Whatever might be their need and reason, I find it funny.

These experiences force me to think about the kinds of bermuda which people wear.

1. Made for two, worn by one.
These are the kind of bermuda which are usally bought for children. The dads of the above kind when getting a boxer size for themselves, force their kids into these human sacks. These are usually reserved for kids because, they don't feel anything when they run or dive even when the wind is strong enough....

2. Made for none, worn by one

They usually wear these kind of bermuda when they take their sons or daughters to swimming lessons. They pretend as if they themselves are going to make a nosedive into the water and take swimming lessons. Sometimes I find circumference of those bermudas to be much lesser than a deodorant bottle.

3. Made for 6, worn by their squares.

These are popularly called three-fourths. These are actually full pants made for 6 to 10 yr olds. I find these are usually worn when they take their family to a picnic. When the picnic spot is even a 50 km away from a beach, they wear this.

Once I found a man wearing it whenever he went to the terrace, only to find that there were heaps of sand kept for some over-head tank repair.

4. Grammar bermuda

These are the ones worn by almost everyone, especially US returned ppl, which have single letters on them.

A, V etc. They must mean something in USA, but here we call it grammar bermuda.

The list is exhaustive. The rest later.

PS: ABF- Anti Bermuda Force
