Subject: Why?


There was this guy who was talking in the Campus center. He was in a suit
and looked very proper. People who were listening, listened carefully and
acted like he was sharing some remarkable telling truth.
 
There was another guy who was talking. His clothes were really shabby and
he looked a mess. He was saying exactly the same thing that the first guy
was. His argument was the same. His prepositions were the same too. But
people who were listening- with polite half-smiles on their faces
but looking throughly bored acted he was throwing histrionics in
the air and they rather be at home, taking long baths.
 
Does the validity of your argument depend on what clothes you're wearing?
