I never did say how this went by Rafiki 11/18/2009, 3:07pm PST
So I needed a Hawaiian shirt, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on ugly clothing I'd never wear again. The most obvious place to shop: Wal-Mart. But it's too white trash and I'm too much of a snob, so I went to Target instead. For $19.99 I found a jet-black shirt with some palm tree and tropical print on it that was so dark you could barely see it unless you were standing right next to me. Perfect. I could claim to be participating in our team building exercise, and no one further than 8 feet away would get the uncontrollable urge to kick my ass.

I was quite proud of myself for cheating the system until I got the shirt home, because then my insecurity started setting in. With the pattern so hard to see I was afraid I would get singled out in front of everybody for NOT participating, and then everyone would laugh and throw donuts at me until I started crying and quit my job out of embarassment. At this point I noticed a tag attached to the shirt that read "HAWAIIAN BAY" in big red letters. I stuck it in my wallet to take it in to work with me in case I was challenged, and began fantasizing about the smuggest way to totally shut some motherfuckers down. Now my plan was bullet proof.

The next day everyone was sitting around the meeting room in their bright, gaudy Hawaiian shirts (fucking rubes) when I noticed someone across the room wearing a suspiciously familiar jet-black shirt. During a break I walked over and the guy was wearing the exact same shirt. We traded some office zingers, and then he reached into his pocket, pulled out a tag, and said, "And I brought this in just in case no one believed this was a Hawaiian shirt." I nearly tried to double high-five him in front of everybody. Best Hawaiian shirt day ever.



EPILOGUE: There was a contest where everyone had to choose the 2 best Hawaiian shirts. The prize was a gallon of Hawaiian Punch (GET IT?!?!?!??!?!). Luckily I didn't win, because then I would have had a gallon of Hawaiian Punch.
