generic t-shirts

I wore a free t-shirt I got at a Halloween party to work this week. I thought it wouldn't be a problem because it would be under a flannel with only the sleeves showing. Problem was, it ended up being kinda hot. I desperately wanted to take off the flannel but couldn't because the t-shirt had a big green and white skeleton on it under an ad for Heiniken. This reminded me on a incident from my high school days.

One day, a buddy of mine, Hank, was suffering through Spanish class in a wool sweater. It had to be at least 90 degrees that day and he was miserable. When I asked him why he didn't take it off he replied, "I can't - generic t-shirt." He lifted the front of his sweater to reveal one of those iron-on graphics for The Beastmaster. We laughed so hard. Remember that Hank?

Dayam Tom,

I don't know how you can continue to remember that after all these years. But did you really have to publish it along with my name fo everyone to read? I'm so self-conscious about the generic shirt thing that i had to move here where i don't even wear a shirt half the time let alone an under shirt. Thanks for the memories buddy.
