Mystery of the Green Argyle Sweater
You know that Seinfeld episode where Jerry dates a woman who is always wearing the exact same dress? He thinks maybe she has a closet full of them like Superman and George suggests that maybe Jerry always happens to see her at the end of her laundry cycle. Jerry spills something on her dress in order to get himself invited up to her apartment so she can change and there’s even a photo of her in there wearing the same dress…
Well, there’s a boy in my Tuesday classes who is always wearing a green argyle sweater. I have never seen him in anything else. Actually, halfway through the semester he traded the sweater in for a green argyle sweater-vest under which he wears one of two shirts (black with blue stripes or white with blue stripes) neither of which matches. So last Monday I happened to see him in our Faculty while I was waiting for class. But of course he had a coat on. So I literally stared at him from across the room for 10 minutes to see if he would take his coat off or at least unzip it so I could catch a glimpse at what he had on underneath. No such luck. Class was starting and I had to go.
This has been driving me absolutely crazy for weeks now! Does he have a closet full of green argyle sweater-vests? Does he just have a specific outfit for each day of the week? Or does he not own any other clothes? I sit next to him in class and he never looks dirty or smells bad (he’s actually semi-attractive) and when chatting with him, nothing about him seems out of the ordinary. I feel like it can’t be the only thing he owns. But I can’t take it anymore… I NEED TO KNOW!!! What should I do???
