T-shirt stats
So, what do you do when you’re home alone on a Saturday night, you don’t feel like going out, and you also aren’t in the mood to be very productive? No, not THAT ;-). Why, you optimize your t-shirt drawers, of course. Exactly! And so far, I’ve determined that I have: 13 Google t-shirts (fewer…
