Double your pleasure
Today while waiting for the train, a guy with the exact same short-sleeve collared shirt I was wearing came and stood next to me. I didn't notice at first, but saw that a girl down the platform was snickering, and looked over to see my shirt twin. He was completely oblivious to the fact up to the moment the train was arriving, so I walked to get on a different subway car than him in order to avoid remaining on the same team as him.
Now it's happened in the past that I've run into dudes wearing the same shirt from H & M before, and one time I even gave the guy a high five as we were passing each other on the subway steps, but I really think this was the only time the other person didn't notice.

My response to this article in the "Mobile Register". Thanks to Suz who picked up on the high school football quote.
As someone who grew up in and left the upper South, I find it amusing that none of the experts in "South's rural 'brain drain'" (6/13/05) cited culture and a lack of tolerance as reasons for 'Brain Drain'. Richard Florida's "The Rise of the Creative Class" ably demonstrates how a lack of tolerance for different political, religious, and ethnic groups can and do hinder economic progress. It is not "high school football rivalries" that hinder economic progress, but close-mindedness, homogeneity and an intolerance for cultural differences that are truly driving away the people who the rural South needs.
