The Appropriateness of Sunglasses

So it’s Wednesday morning around 9:55AM.  The weather is overcast.  I am walking to Dedman minding my own business, wearing my Ray Bahns when I hear a girl’s voice.

 “Bright outside Barry?”

 Wow, I’m an idiot, I forgot that sunglasses are inappropriate to wear when the sun is not shining.  But then I got to thinking:  I wear sunglasses at parties indoors and it isn’t inappropriate.  Corey Hart wears sunglasses at night.  What are the official rules on sunglass wearing?  I did some googling and found zero results for official rules so I took matters into my own hands and drafted a few rules on when sunglasses are/aren’t appropriate.

Sunglasses are appropriate under the following conditions (according to Barry):

 

·      When the sun is out (obviously)

·     When it is snowy

·      Whilst riding a motorcycle

·      Whilst driving a boat

·      Whilst wearing a costume that requires it (risky business, soulja boy, etc.)

·      When you are trying to pull off the “too cool for school” look

·      Prom only if you are wearing a suit or shirt that is NOT black

·      If your name is Jake or Elwood Blues

·      If you are a celebrity

 As a general rule (again according to Barry) any other time it is INAPPROPRIATE to wear sunglasses. 

 Thoughts, objections, suggestions, or comments?

I love this! I think this is a hilarious blog. I think a person should be able to wear sun glasses if they want to at any time. Yes, sunglasses are meant to protect your eyes from the sun, but now a days, sun glasses are more of an accessary, its part of fashion now. I think that barry has the ability to attract many readers with his comedy, this comment definitely make me laugh and made me want to keep reading.
