Yesterday I took my daily shower at the Union Mission where I’ve been staying. At the clothes closet where we exchange our dirty clothes for fresh, clean ones, I asked for a large T-shirt. This is what they gave me:
“I’m going to Bardog in the morning,” I thought. “Is this shirt gonna violate their new dress code? A Glock is a type of gun used by gang bangers. Am I promoting thuggery in this shirt?”
I decided to turn my. T-shirt inside out before leaving the Mission this morning. I didn’t think it was fair to leave it to morning bartender Allie Cat to determine if my Glockoma shirt complies with the dress code.
