I have a teammate who is a nut- actually most of my best friends are nuts, come to think of it- and who occasionally decrees themes for Fridays.
He is fond of "poncho Friday" because the women on the team sometimes wear them, and he happens to own a Steelers poncho. Yes, yellow and black.
A few weeks ago he proclaimed cowboy boot Friday. I wore my FABULOUS purple cowboy boots AND HE FORGOT. He had to reschedule.
So yesterday he sent me a text message: "Crazy shirt Friday?"
Me: I own no crazy shirts. What did you have in mind?
He: I have an Indian skull shirt, and a shirt that looks like grandma's drapes. Take your pick.
Me: What color are the drapes?
He: The drapes are brown.
Me: Is it going to smell like you? yum.
So he shows up to work with this crazyass shirt, which he describes as "vintage" and points out the label confirming it. ("Vintage Shirt") And damned if it doesn't smell just like his cologne, with a little bit of cigarette smoke just there on the cuff. I asked if he did it on purpose AND HE DID.
So I wore it home. I may never give it back. I like vintage drapes.

I require more explanation. You wore it home?

I did wear it home. I had to leave as soon as the bell rang to get Rose, and so I did not see him face to face. If he asks, I MIGHT claim I absentmindedly dashed out with it on. But how to get the smell recharged?
