…the interviewer asked as he closed up my just failed job interview in his NYNY office. It is funny when I reflect back on that experience. It was winter in New York City so I wore a horse-blanket type of shirt to the interview because, you know, cold!
I remember thinking at that very moment the job interviewer person did not much cotton to my down-home style and was letting me know it. Funny thing how people can almost hiss when they are talking down to you; and that gentleman didn’t sound like he asked the lumberjack question as if it were a complement. I replied, “Yes sir, I come from a long and proud line of lumberjacks.” Then I wished him a good day and took my leave thank you very much.

In Western Mass during winter, all or at least most men and a lot of women too wear flannel shirts: you would fit right in here 🙂
Actually, I was just given a flannel shirt for Christmas, I love it 🙂

Shows what a girly man he was, judging another man based on his shirt. Pffft. 🙂

Authority does not always win. Goodness and light will prevail in the end. 🙂
Well, unless you count God as an authority figure, which He is, but we want Him to win, and He will 🙂

Something. 🙂
Never apologise for plaids, tartans and flannels. Even if the snot-nosed intelligentsia wanna talk down. They need us more than we need them.

Oh yeah and I was a USMCR Captain (officer of grunts) at the time of the job interview having just escaped, white knuckled, from Costa Rica!
