Rebel Without a Cause was on this weekend, and in it there's a scene where James Dean plays "chicken" with some other kid, and the other kid gets his leather jacket sleeve caught on the door handle, and so he goes over the cliff. Now, you might think this would be a good scenario to warn against wearing a leather jacket in such an instance, but you'd be wrong. You see, he probably would have been killed anyway, and when you consider that, he really should wear the leather jacket, because when they find his body drowned in the car, he'll look way cooler with that badass leather jacket on than he would have looked without it.
(When you are a cool kid, you really have to consider what you want to "be seen dead in".)
