The Devil Is In The Details

I got off the subway this morning and walked past a group of construction workers who were smoking and drinking coffee outside of their work site. The youngest of the group was wearing a t-shirt with the large, yellow initials "F.B.I." on the chest, in imitation of the police services apparel that one sees in movies and on television shows.

I've seen "F.B.I." shirts before, but there was a slight twist to this one. Usually they declare the wearer to be a "Female Body Inspector", but this shirt proclaimed to the world that he was a "Feminine Body Inspector". The funny thing was that he did not look particularly feminine. In fact, he looked as butch as any of the other construction workers.
