BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU USE AS A COLLAR STAY!

DO YOU USE YOUR OLD CREDIT AND GIFT CARDS FOR THE SAME THING?


I'm sure all of you guys out there know what collar stays are and many of the ladies. They're small pieces of plastic inserted into shirt collars to keep them from flying like wings. I use them frequently in my shirts. In fact, I use them all the time. But one week I ran out of all of my collar stays so I had an idea. I began using old credit cards, old hotel room key cards and empty gift cards. I cut them up into the shape of collar stays and placed them in my shirt. I thought it was a great idea instead of paying $12 a bottle for the collar stays from Dillard's. They worked really well. Last Saturday I dropped off several shirts at MW Cleaners. The problem, I forgot to take out all of my homemade bootleg collar stays. When I arrived at the cleaners that afternoon the workers were in stitches. They couldn't wait to rag on me about my homemade collar stays. They thought it was one of the funniest things they've seen. They collected all of my cut up credit cards I used to make collar stays. They actually returned them with about 50 MW Cleaners collar stays for free. So that's the lesson of the day - don't make homemade collar stays and leave them in your shirts. It could be very embarrassing when you return to the cleaners...Just a day in the life of the Insite!
