Missouri State Sen. Ryan McKenna proposed a statewide ban for
people over the age of eight on, are you ready? Seersucker suits!
Seersucker suits are a Southern staple and are perfectly
acceptable at events such as the Kentucky Derby, outdoor summer weddings,
croquet tournaments and other stereotypical Southern activities.
Sen. Ryan McKenna feels so strongly against the seersucker
suit that he proposed an amendment to a bill that said: “Any person living in
this state aged 8 and under may wear seersucker suits at their leisure. Any
person over the age of 8 living in this state may not wear seersucker suits
because adults look ridiculous in seersucker suits,” the (handwritten)
amendment to a higher education bill read.
McKenna explained that “Children look adorable in
seersuckers. My three-year-old looks cute in that…. Adults look ridiculous.”
The senator ultimately withdrew the amendment, saying that
it was not “germaine” to the higher education bill and that it was done mostly
as a joke, but a joke that he was dead serious about.
According to McKenna, about half of the Missouri state
senate are proponents of the seersucker suit and some even coordinate to come
wearing them on Wednesdays, which is like one of the rules for being in the
cool group in “Mean Girls.”
Never mind terrorists, or North Korea, or Iran, or
unemployment, or the budget, or the economy… let’s spend time resolving the
great seersucker debate….
Live Long and Prosper...
