Q: Whats up with the bottom button of a three-button suit? I have recently gotten in several arguments because I insist on buttoning my bottom button. Maybe I missed this lesson, but as far as Im concerned, if the button wasnt meant to be used, it wouldnt be there.
A: Several arguments? Have you considered a career in law? Oh, I know the type: If God had intended that hole to be empty, he wouldnt have put a button there. But then, sir, what about your nipples? See what I mean? Theyre not functional. Theyre like the buttons on your suit sleeves. My grandpa said those were put there so you cant wipe your runny nose on your jacket sleeve, and I bet youd believe that, just like I did when I was 6. Sometimes a button is just decoration.
