A Statement on Practicality

We seem to be lacking in practicality every day, and the way in which I usually notice this is in the style of our populace. Until the prevailing style involves muumuus and tool belts, I probably will never be satisfied. However, we as a people are missing one glaring opportunity. There is a way to combine practicality and style into the most potent orb of bad-assness. A way that involves only some grooming and natural growth. A way that will lead you to the afro (a variant of this term being jew-fro, another perfectly acceptable look).

The afro is not only fashionable with its shape and volume, but can double as a useful storage device for anything from a comb to a toothbrush or some toothpicks to clean your teeth after meals. I have even seen a glorious movie called Foxy Brown in which the protagonist pulled a pistol from her fro and wasted a room full of people. Therefore, the fro can even save your life. It is the ideal blend of a tool belt and a designer gown. People, get on it.

  1. If I could, I would have done it years ago. See also: Scooby-Doo Meets the Harlem Globetrotters for some fro utility tips.
