Why…
…would the two young German guys sitting next to me on a plane from London (it was at freezing when the plane took off) to Vancouver (don’t know the temp but pretty DAMN cold when we landed) be wearing shorts with button up shirts?
Here are the theories my mother and I came up with:
1) Showing off the tans they got during their holiday vacation in Greece
2) German custom for New Years: bare legs = new beginnings in the new year
3) All of the alcohol they drank on the plane would cause them to warm up and wearing shorts is more socially appropriate than taking their shirts off on a transatlantic flight.
4) Bare legs is the new “European Dude Cleavage”—a trend that won’t hit the States for another 3-5 years
5) A “I don’t have anything to hide” tactic for use during walk through airport security
6) Acceptable German mullet: Business up top, casual down below
7) They are German soccer stars and we all know how those bitches like to show off their gams.
