An OPEN LETTER to … Fans of Ross Geller and His Leather Pants

-

Dear “Friends” Fans:

We are positive you recall the 1999 episode, but now is not the time. Not today. Not only is it supposed to reach 92 degrees this afternoon, but it’s also a little warmer around that steak fry grill, now isn’t it?

That’s not to mention the conversations likely taking place these days because of, well, politics, and it’s doubtful even a great cause can squelch debate about guns and abortion.

A screen shot from TV.
The “Ross” character found himself trapped in his date’s bathroom after attempting to cool himself off.

Those are topics that tend to end friendships and if you toss in a half-naked guy holding a baby-powder-covered pair of sweaty leather pants, you are asking for commotion, unrest, disruption, turmoil, and, depending on the crowd, maybe even some frisky fisty-cuffs.

But worst of all, burned steak.

Sincerely,

Visiting from Switzerland
