(This post is entirely for family history purposes and will probably be very boring and dull to any persons currently living................just an FYI)
As many of you may know, Gary works from our home for his employment. One of the benefits of that is that he wears jeans and a t-shirt every day except for Sunday (suit) and other special occasions. In a recent "spring cleaning", I counted 33 t-shirts in his drawer and one on his person (after I weeded out the ones I no longer would let him wear.) I decided that it was time to record his "collection" for history. So here is a look at......
....the T-Shirt....
Of course, he has the typical
sports t-shirts...although he has only BYU Cougar shirts and only bought by me. (I often borrow them to walk in.)
And
Scout shirts. For years his drawer was filled with grey Class B t-shirts with different Troop numbers on them. I think they are all finally gone. He does have some Scout Camp shirts to wear. This was is from Camp Bartlett Family Camp when I took my Wood Badge course.
And his current Cub class B which are tye dyed shirts.
Holiday shirts are fun and he will often wear one to our various Christmas functions.

This past year's Christmas t-shirt
Our theme for our Annual Party was
"How the Grinch stole Christmas" |
 |
Gary has wore this Christmas favorite
for many Christmases |
My family often has
"reunion shirts" and Gary is a good son-in-law and wears these shirts out...just in time to be replaced by the next reunion shirt.
I think the above are the "normal" shirts that might be found in the drawers of those who just need to wear t-shirts. However, Gary has a broad range of shirts, mostly provided by Jessica. Years ago, she found a funny computer related shirt to give Gary for some birthday or Christmas. It was a big hit with all of us so she has now established a tradition of giving him t-shirts. She often finds them months in advance and stores them until the appropriate holiday. We all love seeing what she has found for him each time.

My unfavorite--The Last line says "wait until your mom get home."
I don't like it. In fact, Gary commented after I had spring cleaned
that he was surprised it was still in his drawer. It is still in good shape. |

Fun shirt for those old enough to really
connect with the Pillsbury Dough Boy |
 |
| Left hand humor! |
 |
I was thinking that this was one of the only ones I bought..
However, I think we got this in Disneyland and Jessica
was shopping with me at the time so probably influenced it. |

This was this past Christmas shirt.
Look at it a minute...you will get it.

Computer Humor
Gary gets lots of comments about these computer themed shirts. All of these were gifts from Jessica. I never find them even when I try to, so I have given up and just let it be Jessica's thing.
People often relate to the feelings expressed in these. I guess we all have a love-hate relationship with our computers.

| Look carefully. |
 |
| Know the feeling |
 |
That is often the case for me...although I have often accused my
computer of "behaving" when Gary uses it and going crazy when I try to get it
to do something for me. |
 |
Probably the shirt that gets the most comments as people are trying to figure it out.
Ask a computer person near you. |
And one final shirt....the one Gary was wearing on Saturday when I cleaned our dressers.
Interestingly for enjoying travel as much as we do, he has only two "vacation" shirts--one from a LDS Mexican cruise we went on with the icon "And it came to pass..." and one from Park City that I got on a weekend trip with Gary's mom and sisters. Gary's mom bought it because she wanted to add to his humorous t-shirt collection. It wasn't funny enough to make the cut however. We will have to find a shirt when we go to Hawaii in a couple of weeks.
And now you know...........
(Aren't you glad I didn't put all 34 shirts on the blog!)
