Subtitle: My t-shirt totally rocks the state of Alabama.
I got my Obama t-shirt in the mail about a week ago. I toyed with sending it back because apparently, if you order a Barack Obama t-shirt, it is shaped like Barack Obama himself. The t-shirt is unusually long for a medium, with longish short sleeves. However, my girlfriend convinced me people are wearing longer t-shirts with the front tucked in a bit to show your belt buckle--sure, whatever--and I really wanted to wear it out and about. So off we went for an afternoon of consumerism in Birmingham.
I'm getting to the four dollars...
In Linens & Things, a store you apparently go to when you say "nah, I don't have anywhere in particular I need to go," we're checking out, buying two ten dollar items. The cashier rings it up and says that'll be twenty whatever. I'm standing a few feet away as the gal pal pays, and the cashier says "Oh, is he with you?" pointing at me. Gal pal says "yes." Cashier says, "hang on, I like that t-shirt," pecks a few buttons on the register and then gives us a revised total of sixteen something.
We saved four dollars because we're for Obama! He's already improving the economy. For me. in Alabama.
Money saving shirt here!
