Tom :
If you are having these sensitive feeling ..I think you have doubts about
your
skills...
If you worked hard understand what you have studied and practiced...and
you
are not afraid to
show it ....dude be proud to show off your number.
ok.
if you are still sensitive about it and want to wear it just say it was the
only
clean shirt you had ... : - )
I think this thread was supposed to be in a Dear Abby.
