That is how I would describe several people I know. But predominantly, I have noticed something. That the smoothest people I know, are black. There is just something special, unique or sophisticated in the way they pull this off. A friend, for example, would put on his shades, plug in his iPod and head off to Uni. Nothing particularly interesting in that. Well, sure, but the way in which he strolls over to Uni, is just amazing.

Us guys are never so general with our comments. But then perhaps it is our directness that gets us into so much trouble! As if you needed reminding, it is Father&#8217;s Day today.
