The fatal cost of gangster fashion
26th December 2009
Here’s a story to round off the year: a murderous New York gangster tripped over his own baggy trousers last week and fell to his death. Hector Quinones, 44, was in the middle of an apparently drugs-related killing spree when his low-slung trousers fell down and tripped him up. One of his would-be victims fled on to the fire escape of her apartment block; Quinones yanked up his trousers and struggled after her, but no sooner had he reached the fire escape than they fell down again, and he toppled overboard.
Let that be a lesson to us all.
I don’t think that ever happened to a zoot suit….

Sounds like a Darwin Award winner to me!

You will never hear me complain about that fashion again.
