bryan's shirts
last year ,bryan,as an after dinner recreation,would somehow convince the wait staff,bartenders ,even a gas attendant to give up their work name tag.first night he left the bar with one,the seconf night he was out til 5 am(he did not have to paddle)and came home with 5.do'nt ask me how he came about to get them.i do not want to know.
this year,i have challenged him to go for shirts,not mine but anybodys willing to give up their shirts.sure enough,last night (i do not want to know how )he came home with a shirt off somebody's back.now he will have a shirt to pin all those name tags .talk about multiple personalities.
