New shirts
December 30th, 2005Begin rant:
Can someone explain to me why clothing companies see the need to put so many blasted straight pins in new shirts? I just pulled 10 pins out of a new shirt — 10. What’s the point? Does a shirt really need to be pinned up that much in order to be acceptable? Heck, they could knock 50 cents off the price of the shirt if it didn’t come with so many stinking pins. Why, why, why???
Rant complete. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Just wait Tim, someone will post saying they are offended by your criticism of the pins. They will miss the humour of your post and go straight to being a spineless jellyfish with no sense of humour. Plus, they probably voted for Kerry.
Dear Mr. Ellsworth: I found your (quite undeserved) criticism of the number of pins in shirts to be very offensive. I myself have opened many shirts over the years and I always enjoy the time I spend pulling the pins out. I even take them right over to my grandmother’s and deposit them in her pin cushion which resembles a tomato. As I reflected on your comments, I became more enraged and viewed it as a personal attack on my grandmother herself! The narrow-mindedness in an age of ever-increasing tolerance and progressivism was an affront to all freedom loving world citizens everywhere! Not to mention pin lovers! Please show more understanding and consideration in the future if you do not want to be contacted by attorneys at the ACLU when you will have to explain to them how you hurt my feelings.
As lobbyist for the Pin Placers Union, I am deeply offended that you would question the validity of the profession of my clients. Why don’t you spend less time judging these people and start praying for them? Have you ever thought how boring it would be to try on clothes if you didn’t have to find a place to put the pins? We need less judging and mofe loving.
How quick you are to forget that pinning shirts is the only way that little Poncho and Guadalupe can help provide for their families. That 50 cents you want to knock off would kill the livelihood pin-sticking sweatshop employees across the world. Please, stop thinking about yourself for once and think of the children! Of course, this never would have happened had Kerry been elected; you outsourcing Republicans make me sick.
~I KNEW IT!~
Funny stuff.
And for the record, I don’t buy those folded up shirts for that very reason. Give me a dress shirt on a hangar and I shall give you my money!
Yet another reason I’m glad I’m a woman - no pins in shirts.
Its like this, I toss the shirt in the air and round house kick the pins out of it and catch them in my beard!
