Blog Number 79

Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

Back in the building that I worked at in Indiana, every Friday was jean day.  You were allowed to wear jeans as long as they were in good taste (no holes, etc.).  Every once in a while there would be a fund raiser where you could pay $1 and wear jeans on a non-Friday.  I usually did not wear jeans on Friday (and never paid the $1 to do so on non-Fridays).  The building was not that big so I cannot imagine that these non-Friday jean days raised very much money.

Recently in the building I work at here in Texas, they announced a fund raiser where (for $5) you can wear jeans (talk about your cost of living increase!).  A lady in a cube near me has a flag mounted atop her cube proclaiming that she is the jean coordinator.  I think you can actually pay $25 and wear jeans for an entire week.

Now I will try to be kind here, but there are some people that simply should not be allowed to wear jeans.  These people just don't have "jean" bodies.  I do not wish to offend, it is simply a matter of genes.  I think you should be able to have a fund raiser where you could pay money and be allowed to have another person NOT wear jeans.  If they pay $5 to be able to wear jeans, then you could pay $10 and remove their jean wearing ability for that day.  It could all be anonymous and no one else would need to know.  If you have paid your $5 you simply check in with the jean coordinator right before close of business the day before jean day and see if your $5 held up.  Pretty sick what I think about, huh?

This type of system though is probably the only way to get me to donate to jean day.  I would also like to take this time to announce my new fund raiser.  For $10 you can request that I NOT blog on a certain day.  Send in those donations!

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
