Well at least we're not round on our ends!
Yesterday I walked to the library as part of my HIGHEST STEPCOUNT DAY EVER. On the way there, another pedestrian passing in the other direction said, "Great shirt." I looked down and saw that I was wearing a Michigan sweatshirt. Ah, a fellow Wolverines fan!
When I got to the library to pick up the books I had on reserve, the clerk said, "I don't know if I should give these to you."
I thought, 'What have I done? Do I have enormous fines I don't know about? Did I reserve porn??'
She continued, "... wearing that shirt."
Aha! A teasing fan of... something. Ohio State football or The University I Work At's hockey team or the state of Ohio in general or something. Unfortunately my excellent Big Ten¹ education was not enough to provide me with a good comeback, so I just stood there dumbly with my mouth hanging open.
As I walked away, I came up with all kinds of great responses, like "Oh yeah? Well we lost to both OSU in football and TUIWA in hockey last year, so whichever one you support, I'm covered."
She won't be laughing so hard when I show up at the library next time in this t-shirt! Neither will the people beating me to a pulp!
