If it ain't broke, don't fix it

If you've lived in the Ozarks for any length of time, you'll realize that this isn't just a cliché. It's a way of life. Case in point, this shirt. It was not just any shirt—it was one of D's favorites. At first glance, you might not even notice that the yellow on front was mustard. You might just think it was part of the design.



But try looking a little closer.



Still can't tell?

Originally a white t-shirt with a blue screenprint, it was defaced by a huge drop of mustard at a barbecue. The stain set and became impossible to get out. It would have been easy to just replace it with another shirt. The only problem—D really liked this shirt. So, thinking outside the box, D decided to make the mustard part of the design of the shirt, and Voila!

For some reason, it reminds me of a map of the world.
