MEN IN SHIRTS

Always trust a man in a shirt, the politicians say,

wear a tie for special effect when entering the fray.

If at first you don't succeed just change your upper half

then check that mirrors never lie and all will be OK.

Thanks Stephen, that may be true - it certainly wasn't Jeremy Thorpe.

I seem to remember that John Major tucked his in under both (or did he?)

Thanks for liking this Hugh, Holden and Stephen. Keep it clean, Stephen! Alcohol can sometimes be blamed.

I would trust a man in a shirt, provided that it's tucked in (beneath trousers, over underpants).
