6830: Casual Friday.


Wardrobe malfunctions in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• A sports agent says he owns the suit that O.J. Simpson wore when he was acquitted of double murder. However, the agent won’t completely admit it’s the actual attire. “I’ve had [the suit] in my possession since the morning after the verdict,” said the man at the beginning of a recent interview. But later, he added, “When I told you that before, I wasn’t under oath.” Somebody please give Simpson a pistol and let him retrieve the outfit.

• Men’s Wearhouse founder George Zimmer is probably telling Filene’s Basement, “You’re not going to like the way you look. I guarantee it.” The discount retailer put itself back on auction after initially declaring an affiliate of Men’s Wearhouse had won the bidding process. Next time, the place should just use eBay.

• American Airlines predicts fewer passengers, and is cutting 1,600 jobs. Travelers can rest assured that the reductions will not affect lost luggage figures, which will remain steady.

• Over 1,500 Chicago city employees will receive layoff notices today. The cuts will likely affect services like garbage collection, rodent control, tree trimming and streetlight repairs. Hey, if streetlights go out, at least citizens won’t notice the mess at night.
