Frilly isn't’t the word I’d use. Frills seem to have been removed with extreme prejudice. What we have here are Asbestos Anti-Sex Coats, even though they call them Dusters. That term - as I understand it - applies to the coats worn by Cowboys, who had a certain amount of daily contact with Dust. In this case perhaps it’s something you wear while spraying Endust on the laminated tables, then wiping them down with one hand and taking a puff from the Lark with the other, and - oh, darn, ashes everywhere.

Well, that's what Endust is for, isn't it? Hssssssshhh.

My, noon already. Time for cottage cheese and a screwdriver.
