My hubby has a co-worker/friend (I know him well enough now that I consider him my friend too) who for the LONGEST time, wore the same shirt and it too, was a green shirt. He would wear that shirt ragged and when it was in threads, he would buy another green shirt. This went on for several years until a female co-worker had an intervention of sorts with our friend. She took him out shopping and forced him to buy other clothes.<BR/><BR/>And now our eccentric friend who just wore 1 green shirt now has a nice wardrobe and a girlfriend...cuz he didn't have a girlfriend either at the time to show him the error of his ways.<BR/><BR/>An intervention would be a good thing. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-1141158323975585322006-02-28T14:25:00.000-06:002006-02-28T14:25:00.000-06:00Pia: I think we could probably all use an interve...Pia: I think we could probably all use an intervention of some kind or other.

Something like, "Dude, I think I sold that shirt at a yard sale in 1987" maybe?<BR/><BR/>OC Girl: Another thing I have learned is that shoes are important to some/most girls. I think I mentioned it in a post awhile back. Wore a new shirt and new shoes to work one day. The shoes were what got noticed.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I usually barely notice a girl's shoes.

Unlucky for me I still get asked for my opinion everytime he gets dressed now. <BR/>If you and Screech are close in size you could get him a new shirt and tell him it was a bday present that you don't care for... or if you're not close in size you could say it's the wrong size and you're too lazy to exchange it for the right size.
