They all had stains on them +somewhere. He pulled out a vest to put on over the stains but somehow all of +them were still visible. Most of them were unidentifiable but one he thought +could have come from that peach he ate two weeks before. Another looked like +toothpaste but he was paranoid it was something else. + +When he took the bus into work he couldn't relax. He was paranoid everyone +was staring at his stain and kept looking out the corners of his eyes to make +sure they weren't. They didn't seem to be but they could also be looking away +just as he looked at them. "The Observation Paradox" he muttered to himself. + +Jill was the only one to notice the stain at work. She came around to his +cubicle during a break because he dared not show his stain in the break room. +"You have a stain on your shoulder" she said "it looks like toothpaste." "Do +I" he feigned ignorance but went red at the same time "I didn't see that there +this morning." "How do you get toothpaste on your shoulder?"

"I don't have that many shirts with stains" he said frowning. "Yes +you do" she said. -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
