A little story to brighten your day
Posted : 8 Apr, 2010 12:08 AM

So, I�m a guy right? And we guys are tough on our clothing. We use our T-shirts as oils rags, socks make great vacuum bags, and jeans are just drop cloths that you wear. The dilemma with this dynamic, is that we tend to require constant reloads of our wardrobe.



On one such problem-solving afternoon I embarked to remedy this concern. Disillusioned with the idea of shelling out $30 for good shirts (which I was certain would find their way into the nearest paint can within the week), I set out to find the cheapest, �good-quality� cloths possible. My search was not in vain as I soon came across a Christian outlet store that had just received a few shipments of freshly manufactured T-shirts. Score! Being a man to pounce on a good opportunity I quickly procured 15 shirts for the typical cost of one. As I drive home, I�m once again reaffirming the male prowess for decision- making (I think I even grunted a bit in self-approval). However, upon return to my man cave my joy was quickly short lived. To my dismay, it turned out the reason these shirts were so inexpensive is that they were the excess inventory from the various corporate sponsored events in my region. Now, I have a wardrobe that reads like a NASCAR advertisement � only I�m somewhat afraid I may send the wrong message when I�m sportin�:

�Expect More, Pay Less� (Target Corporation),

�Your Potential, Our Passion� (Microsoft Corporation),

�Forever New Frontiers� (Boeing Corporation),



�.but hey, at least I got my paint rags...
