Diogenes

On a dare, I went to the grocery store like this. It feels funny at first, but as time passes, you forget about it. Every once in a while, you notice that someone is staring at you, or find an odd expression on a stranger's face. I was surprised to find that, for the most part, people acted as if it was completely normal. This is an age where tolerance is the highest virtue.

.

It reminds me of The Emperor's New Clothes. I can not understand why people acted as if it was completely normal. Not that they had license to be rude, but they kept their murmuring to themselves, and stifled laughter if I made eye contact. Please, people... I stand at 5'7"; that's hardly intimidating.

.

Finally, one older gent chuckled as he passed by. To that stranger I say, "Thank you, for your honesty." Between tolerance and honesty, I consider the latter to be the higher virtue. Hence, I respect him for that.

.

I kept the tiger stripes until the following morning. It was good for a laugh, but I'm back to a plain goatee again.

This is a second drawing of something I originally put up on a chalkboard. It comes from some ideas floating around in my head that I haven't given words to yet, and I thought I'd open it up for discussion before making any big speeches on television or signing a book deal.

What interpretations would you draw out of this picture?
