Abraham Lincoln thinks cargo shorts are uncool

My lovely but insane wife, Mary Todd, gave a pair of cargo shorts to me on my thiry-fourth birthday. At the time, I was fairly unaware of this type of shorts and therefore had no qualms as to wearing them that very same day. What a huge mistake that was.

Thank you, Mr. Lincoln, for speaking out against the unseemly short pants that besmirch the legs of men all through the western world.

Cargo shorts are cool!
You should be shot for having an opinion like that!

They seem like the perfect thing to wear when splitting rails... no?

Well, you know, you're tall. Guys with long legs don't always look quite right in certain styles.

Maybe basketball shorts are more to your taste.

I think would look particularly nifty with the shawl and the stovepipe hat.

LMAO this brightened the beginning of my afternoon. Sometimes we must forgo the stylish trends and wear what works best for us. Give them another try Abe, but next time empty the pockets first before attempting the rescue.

  Well I shall never wear another pair after the trauma they have left me, but you are right, sometimes we must forgo what is stylish for what is more practical
