That Travelling OFA Foosball Jacket :( - 5000 Years Old Man - 14-Nov-2013
That OFA foosball jacket of mine is a magnet for...
It started long ago when other OFA Jacket holders tended to walk out with the wrong jacket, understandable mistake, learned, no names necessary.
But ~last Winter when a group of kids at TG moved from the foosball to the billiard tables with their coats they took mine; it had been on a chair by the last foosball table on the right -- thanks to Chris A that found them and the jacket at the far end of TG.
More recently a group of 50sh-60sh men that were playing on the Tornado tables by the Fireball did the same thing, and they must have gathered the clothing from a couple of those "coat hanger trees" -- thanks to Chris A again for the precedent, I searched TG till I spotted them and sure enough my OFA jacket was nearby.
This afternoon though was quite different. I had to go to the dentist and the "shell" portion of the OFA jacket was just right for the weather. At the dentist I half-stuffed my Warrior cap in one of the pockets and put the jacket at the far end of a long coat hanger.
Five minutes later, to my amazement I was looking at a woman - not older than 40 - reaching far to get it, putting it on, and blissfully indifferent to the light colored cap hanging out of a pocket walking smartly across the room and to the door where I stopped her.
"It was where I put my coat!", "I would have realized it when I could not find my car keys!", and many such gems came out of her. To top it, after I took back my jacket, black and shell only, she put on a Winter quilted dark-wine-colored coat that reached well past her knees half way to the floor.
Who are these people?

They all want to walk in the jacket of an OFA legend
