Note the absence of a question mark. However, it would be clearer with the presence of quote marks.

Yes. @Orodruin used the same trick before. There, a "." was missing at the end of the sentence:

I found that one hillarious because it is a spoof of the order-of-operations questions. Rather clever actually. The answer really is 5!

I suspect that's why so many men dress so shabby, maybe myself included. Clothes shopping seems unbearably boring. So they either don't shop to upgrade or buy the first think they find, independent of how it fits.
I have this idea of a men-only store where you just walk around in your underwear, tey things on, take them off.

I met a man who after finding a pair of trousers that fitted, always bought ten of them.

Reminds me of an episode from Garfield & friends (a 90s cartoon). There were three workers on Orson's farm called What, Where and Who. :DD
