- it gets worse than that: last week i happened to lean at a bar, talking
- with friends, when i noticed the jacket the guy next to me was wearing.
- emblazoned in gold stitches over the entire back of the jacket were
- the words:
-
- KENN COUNTY
- MEN'S SPORTS CLUB
- CHEVIGNON
-
- so, not only is this guy running around as a walking billboard for
- a clothing company, he also is a sports freak?
-
- peeve: not knowing where kenn county is.
-
- anti-peeve: turning to the guy for edification.
-
- peeve: he didn't know either.
-
- it makes me wonder how many of the people who wear that stuff ever
- read what it says.
