.....given a ticket for speeding. If that law enforcer wore stripy pyjamas and had the face paint of a clown, you might not be inclined to take them very seriously. And if the judge, who later sentenced you for the non-payment of that ticket, pronounced your sentence from beneath a Groucho Marx mask, how worried would you be?
There are good reasons why authority figures wear particular outfits. But we make a grave mistake when we judge anyone too quickly by appearance alone. (My old grandma used to say - never judge a sausage by its skin.) Look beyond the obvious.
