Here's the funny thing..I went to Catholic school for my entire life, so it was uniforms of one sort or another. (Catholic schooling is big here in New England..I'm not sure if its as popular in other states).
Anyhow, the funny thing is that in high school (the late 80's) my senior year, we all had to wear ties with our shirts. the only "dress code" requirement was that we wear grey slacks and a collared shirt. And a tie.
So every day I either wore a skinny tie (remeber, its the 80's) or I'd wear a knit tie with the flat bottom. You know, very 80's....in fact just about every picture of me in the 80's I'm wearing a knit tie, and I think I was the only guy to ever wear one in my entire grade. I was an individual you see 
Anyhow...the deal is, every day on my tie I'd wear a pin. You know..Flair 
Either my original MTV Pin (back in the early MTV days you could send in an envelope and they'd send you a pin), some Judas Priest pins or some other metal band pin.....my rolling stone pin that was given to me by my teacher who got the pin at a Stones concert in the 60's (that was tre'cool), OR...my most worn pin: A metal marijuana leaf.
now this is a catholic high school.......and I'd wear my pot leaf pin at least 2 times a week...and I never go tin ttrouble. I never got busted, I never got a DETENTION. I dont get it....its one of lifes great mysteries.
Nobody ever said boo about it........and everyone knew I was a head back in those days. I mean, I wasn't tokin up in the boys room between classes.....that was Marlboros only.....but you'd think in a school where girls would get sent home if their skirts were an inch too high or their bras could be seen through their blouses, that a big old 2" pot leaf would get noticed.
Mabye they thought it was a maple leaf, and figured i was a big fan of Canada...  |
