Question of the day

Black and white stripes.... if they're horizontal they mean 'prisoner'. If they're vertical they mean 'pirate'. Why?

Both horizontal and vertical were used by both pirates and inmates in various places and times. It was not set that inmates wore horizontal and pirates wore vertical. Thats what I was trying to say about pirates wearing stripes, it had no reasoning for it other than the fabric they used happen to ahve stripes, be they horizontal and vertical.
