Think Orange

Think_Halloween Orange T-Shirt When I worked at Apple, they would hold their WWDC (World Wide Developer's Conference) each year, and one of the days they would have the attendees come to Apple's campus in Cupertino. They would give different colored Apple T-shirts to each group of Apple employees -- one color for the OS kernel guys, a different one for the hardware guys, etc. The shirts are a plain, solid color, with the group name in small letters on the front, and the new, simple plain white Apple logo on the back (this was just after the rainbow Apple logo fell into disfavor with The Steve). One of those years, us Tools and Java guys got these damn bright orange T-shirts.

Like you're going to wear that color of orange on any day OTHER than Halloween. When my wife saw the shirt, her immediate reaction was to get a black felt-pen and draw little triangular eyes and a crooked mouth in the middle of the Apple logo on the back. So now it's even more obviously a shirt I can wear only on Halloween.
