The Human Polar Bear

I take the train to work every weekday and there is one guy I see on the platform who is freaking me out big time.
He's the first human being I know who wears exactly the same clothes in the summer as he does in the winter. For several days now it's been freezing: at 7.00am this morning I reckon that the 'feel' temperature must have been something like -10°C (officially it was -4°C today but this doesn't factor in the chilly wind). Everybody is wearing a heavy coat or anorak, mittens and hats and still shivering like hell, but the guy - I call him the Polar Bear - is wearing a shirt with the top unbuttoned and a flimsy blazer and that's it! What really scares me is that he never flinches even when a gust of Arctic wind rips across the train platform in Deinze.


P.S.: He drives a huge Mercedes to the train station (which also seems kind of strange)so he can't be too poor to buy winterclothes. I hope I can gather the courage to talk to him one of these days and ask him what his secret is.
