Re: OT: Short-sleeved jumpsuits, like Grandpa used to wear
That's funny! As far as I remember I never saw one in Europe. I can assure you, though being a grampa myself, that I never wore one. The only ones to wear these peculiar outfits must have been the American paratroopers in WW2, and then with long sleeves. Looks very practical, but I would go for the old fashioned American overall (combined with a white shirt and bowtie on sundays)

Thanks, John D.! Jerry Moody was on it like a chicken on a junebug, and told me about Johnny's right away; in fact, he called me from there, and put me on with a sales lady from his phone - what a guy!
Of course, I should have known Jerry would know where the all the cranky old farts shop, wink/grin.
@Nedro: no worries - I'll never shuck my old coveralls (well, sometimes, for skinny-dipping and other recreational pursuits . . . but you know what I mean). In fact, I just sent some that were getting old and thin to a seamstress today to get patched and hemmed into shorts. I ain't one to quit on a good garment just because of a little age.
@TJ: I guess I like a lot of things that were made for an earlier generation. Maybe because I was half-raised by my Grandpa, a farmer born in '03. Those were some damm good people back then!
