This is some sort of sick joke, right?

Hmm, you've asked the wrong Jew on that one.

And, I'm not Jewish.

And, I'm an educated art snob to boot.

More on the "Jew" front.....seems this ends up a big difference between us and some of the more spendy people in our lives....

The only time I have EVER purchased a shirt that cost over $50 was at DL - and not a t-shirt, but one of those high quality silk HMH button-down shirts with the special Jack buttons. It was a gift for GD, and not only that, the only way I could let myself buy it was to split the cost with his sister. I would never, ever purchase a shirt that cost over $50 for myself, unless forced to for some odd reason...I can't think of any....

I spent more than $100 on one article of clothing precisely twice in my life. One was my wedding dress, and the other was a bridesmaid dress for someone else's wedding.

If we wanted something purely for our own sillyness that cost over $50, we'd probably do a combo birthday or Hanukkah gift to ourselves on that. We did that before for purchases like the Dodger seats and our digital camera.

We're not poor, but we're not spenders either. In fact, I'll be the first to say that we're tight-fisted-penny-pinching-Jews (ok, maybe the second after GD already posted it). I guess this leaves us ill-equipped to deal with a t-shirt that costs that much yet doesn't also perform sexual favors.

Even so, I dig zapp's sense of style and his clothing choices are always fab....as are those of everyone else here as well, as iSm mentioned earlier.

NA is right - we all aspire to be "better people" and not snicker at each other for choices - but I admit to being human and having my opinions on stuff. I am always of the mind that my opinions are my own and that no one else needs to run their lives by my rules.....say it with me now....."it's a free country."

Love y'all, back to work with me
