I was wearing my "25 4 45" tee-shirt today...

Grabbing a bite at Panera Bread, when this rather red-neck kind of guy walked up to me and said, "Do ya mind telling me what them numbers on ya shirt mean?" So I smiled and said, "Sure, it means I support invoking the twenty-fifth amendment of the Constitution on our forty-fifth president." Then I held up my little water cup in a "cheers" gesture. He looked perplexed and scratched his head and said "Oh." and walked off. Glad I was almost finished so I could get the hell out of there before he had a chance to look it up.

I saw a great T-shirt at the Dr.'s office this morning... Black tee with big white letters across the chest spelling, "But... Her e-mails"

then he's still there at Panera, trying to decide what to order.

Poor bastard...

They really are idiots, aren't they?

I was not in Boulder county. Still, his type is not that common in this area, at least in my experience. He sounded south-western. I'm from TN, so know it when I hear it.

I think you'd have been safe to stay. He doesn't sound like the kind to look it up.
