Skinny jeans

THE EAR - The Freeman
June 7, 2014 | 12:00am

HUNGRY. One night in Barangay Punta Princesa, a very hungry man (who isn't quite 60 years old yet) dropped by a fastfood joint for a bite. At the counter, the service clerk asked the man not what he wanted to have but whether he had a senior citizen's card.

DEVASTATED. The man suddenly lost his appetite. He had been trying to look young by wearing "bagets" clothes, and now this. When he got home, he told his daughter about his encounter with the girl at the counter, adding "Walay effect ang skinny jeans sa akoa (The skinny jeans didn't do its stuff)."
