How To: Erase your Library Fines

Tonight after my fitness boot camp, and before a trip to the grocery store, Jon and I stopped by the library to grab a movie. We were browsing the selection when a woman came up to me and said, "you've won the prize for best t-shirt." I looked down and realized I was wearing my "I Heart my Public Library" t-shirt; I own only two shirts with any writing on them (my body is not your billboard=). She told me that the librarians liked it so much they would forgive my library fines, and asked for my library card. I looked over to the circulation desk to see a trio of nodding, smiling librarians. Two minutes later, all $6 of my fines were obliterated.

Completely flattering picture of me, after working out. I am pumped that this shirt just paid for itself.
I should start wearing my "I heart vegetarians" t-shirt around town. Maybe someone will give me some free veggie burgers.

Yes yes yes! That is a wonderful idea. Just don't wear one of those "free love" t-shirts that I've seen twice in the last month. Outcome equals no good.
