My company bought team shirts for some remote group. One day, I heard the secretary telling someone she'd have to throw out a shirt because it was too small, and the shirtmaker wouldn't accept returns of special orders.

Sight unseen, I hollered over the cubicle wall that I'd take it; the next thing I knew a polo jib had settled over my desk. The size is XXXXXXL, but they don't make tags that say that. Instead, the tag says XXL and someone -- who probably dreams of being fat enough to require a medium -- wrote "6" on it in felt pen.

I've worn it a few times, mostly as an excuse to tell the story, but it's just TOO BIG to be comfortable. The ("short") sleeves reach midway down my forearm. The armholes are large enough to fit my waist, should it come to that.

I can only wonder at the lifestyle of the giant this garment was intended for. I mean, it takes up half a dresser drawer and 1/5 of a washing machine, and he gave it back because it was too small. How does he store and launder his clothes? Where does he buy them and what price is charged? What WoW guild does he belong to? When he reads of people upset because they can't get a puny XXXXL, does he laugh or weep?

Ray!
