Tie-Dye

Hippies love tie-dye clothing. They wear tie-dye T-shirts, pants, socks, purses and backpacks, coats, sweaters, shoes, hats, scarves, and pretty much everything else they wear and/or don and/or carry with them on their exploits through time and space. Now, considering its popularity, you’d think hippies think tie-dye is “pretty” or something. You’d be wrong. The real reason they love tie-dye so much is that, when they are all hopped up on dope or mushrooms or jimson weed and their brains aren’t working properly, if they are ever asked what color shirt or hat or skirt they have on, they can just say, “It’s Tie-dye, man!” Their rods and cones needn’t be brought back to reality.
