Dudley wears a leather jacket on a hot summer evening because he's 
Young, Dumb, and Ugly.  That's the title of a Weird Al Yankovic song 
which contains the memorable line, "We wear black leather in the 
hottest of weather/ You can't imagine the smell."  I think of it 
every time I stroll around town on a hot summer day and view the 
youths out for a swagger.  Mind now, I live in Canada, Weird Al lives 
in the US, and Dudley lives in Britain, but I wonder if perhaps 
Young, Dumb, and Ugly, with its attendant fashion sense, transcends 
national boundaries (at least in the Western world?)
