Belt Begone

In the olden days belts served the useful purpose of child abuse but since that practice has fallen into disfavor it has become an accessory that matches your shoes or an ornament bandied about by boxers, wrestlers and cowboys. So leaving the boxers, wrestlers and cowboys alone and considering the fact that you have to take the damn thing on and off so many times through airport check in lines I propose that it is time for the belt to go the way of the clothing dinosaur, the hat. Infact the hat may be more useful since atleast in very cold and hot weather it provides protection especially to those of us whose hair, unlike Darell Hair, is gone. Truly, the belt has become as useless as the seat belt on an airplane that the flight attendant insists you buckle.

Sure, its utility may be over - except in the case when teens wear their pants so loose that the belt may be the only way to hold it up -but most accesories are only there in the first place to make a statement of your style.

actually, I would like to hear from people who were saved by the airplane seatbelt.
