THE TRUTH IS IN MY BATHROOM

Determined to discover the truth behind the Box on Bush's Back, I
conducted my own thorougly scientific experiment, and now I'm firmly in
the skeptics' camp.

You can repeat the experiment if you have two mirrors that face each
other. I happen to have one of those cheap $6 "full-length" jobs from
Target on my bathroom door, which opens inward. When the door's all the
way open, I can stand facing the mirror on the medicine cabinet and see
my back in the mirror on the door. I'm sure anyone inclined to repeat
the experiments can come up with some sort of equivalent setup.

Face straight ahead, watching your back. Push your shoulders straight
forward and tense your neck up a little, as if you were a pathetic shell
of a man trying to make his shoulders look broader and his neck look
thicker for a Presidential debate.

Watch what happens to your shoulder blades.

If you have an expensive suit jacket that fits well, put it on and check
out what it looks like. I conducted my first trials using a Pearl Jam
t-shirt over a thermal before switching to a cheap JC Penney sport coat
I scored at a thrift store a few years ago. Both are unscientific
substitutes for the President's custom hand-tailored masterpieces.
