21 | He couldn't find a shirt to go to work in. They all had stains on them | ||
22 | somewhere. He pulled out a vest to put on over the stains but somehow all of | ||
23 | them were still visible. Most of them were unidentifiable but one he thought | ||
24 | could have come from that peach he ate two weeks before. Another looked like | ||
25 | toothpaste but he was paranoid it was something else. | ||
26 | |||
27 | When he took the bus into work he couldn't relax. He was paranoid everyone | ||
28 | was staring at his stain and kept looking out the corners of his eyes to make | ||
29 | sure they weren't. They didn't seem to be but they could also be looking away | ||
30 | just as he looked at them. "The Observation Paradox" he muttered to himself. | ||

32 | Jill was the only one to notice the stain at work. She came around to his | ||
33 | cubicle during a break because he dared not show his stain in the break room. | ||
34 | "You have a stain on your shoulder" she said "it looks like toothpaste." "Do | ||
35 | I" he feigned ignorance but went red at the same time "I didn't see that there | ||
36 | this morning." "How do you get toothpaste on your shoulder?" "I don't know | ||
37 | skills I guess" he said and she grinned. "You know vinegar will take that | ||
38 | out" she said "although I think I like it. You should start a museum of shirt | ||
39 | stains!" "I don't have that many shirts with stains" he said frowning. "Yes | ||
40 | you do" she said. | ||
