        No, you’re thinking of the paper slips people use to vote.

          No no, that’s when people dance to classical music in those fancy toe shoes.

            Yeah nah, you’re thinking about the part of the shore, where the water isn’t that deep.

      Surely not light, but huge variance if pine or some hardwood.

    I used to know people old enough wearing this kind of clothing regularly, and later some now old people wearing it ceremonially. Pretty funny that these were used to work with. Especially with the hats.
