This past week I have listed a few items on Ebay. It all started with a lime leather green Joe Rocket motorcycle jacket that Doug had picked up at a garage sale for $10.00. We needed a model and we could not stuff Doug into the jacket, so Herm volunteered. The auction is getting ready to close and 75 people have taken a look at the auction. Although some I think are looking at Herm, he has had a couple of questions ( like how tall, waist size and weight). Thank god I wasn't the model.
I now have Ebay fever, always the first place I look is in Herm's closet. I found his Columbia Sportswear fish shirt. The last time he wore this shirts was in July of 2003. We were on a Alaska cruise. The evening entertainment was a comedian and Herm wore this shirt ( which I always loved because of it gypsy colors). The bright colors made Herm a easy target ,
everyone knows how a Ostegard hates to be signaled out. It started with comedian asking the audience who picked out their clothes to wear tonight. Look at that man (pointing to Herm)there is no way he would he have picked that shirt to wear that is the ugliest shirt I have ever seen. It had to been his wife who picked it out. With the spot light shining on him he had to admit that yes his wife dresses him. That is about the worse thing that can happen to an Ostergard, they are kind of shy and hate to be in the lime light.
Well, after that evening he has never worn the fish shirt again.
In a motorhome you do not have a lot of closet space, I thought since he has not worn that shirt I might just as well sell it. I never ask for permission because he always says no. He was so surprised to see his fish shirt listed on Ebay. Now that it is listed and already has 2 bids it is his favorite shirt and how could I do that. I pointed out that he has not worn it for 6 years. He said he was saving it.
Fish Shirt Sold For $5.00
