For those of you not in the know, I used to run my own business in high school. I sold bagels to my classmates for about a year and a half and made some pretty serious bank doing it. What is funny is that more revenue was generated from the T-Shirts associated with my business than from selling bagels themselves.
T-shirts started being tied to my business when, one spring break I loaned my brother my car so that he could make a cross country trip. As a thank you he and his girlfriend (now his wife) made me a T-shirt that I could wear while I sold my bagels. The shirt, made with iron on letters on a beautiful royal blue shirt has held up amazingly over the last 7 years. Even in heavy rotation it never showed any real signs of wear and tear. Then I took my trip abroad.
I chose that shirt as one of the 6 I was able to bring with me for my 2 months of trekking around the world. As a result the letters have worn off and my shirt now looks like a dilapidated movie theater marquee. I think that it is finally time to retire the shirt. RIP Originator. You will be missed.
