funny tee-shirt story

[MadJack]

dig this shit.

i get an email from someone that got a madjack tee-shirt, right?

i thought it was going to be a 'thank you' like most of them are.

nope!

pissed off because i sent a 'used' one.

gimme a break! i'm not going to send out a 'used' tee-shirt. LMAO!! i'd have to be a lunatic. i'm trying to promote my online business for christ's sake!

i WILL say that they come smashed in boxes and i will not iron before i pack them in the usps priority bags. and, i'm terrible at folding clothes. if you happened to get one that was folded nicely, it's because my wife helped me out one morning.

anyway....i do not send out 'used' tees.

thanks for the 'thank you' dude!!

MOST people like them

How come people are so "stupid" and rude sometimes? I'm having hard to understand these guys who think everything is due to them... Give me a break!!!

Don't listen to these jerks Jack, you're doing whatever you can to make us happy and you still have people who complain...
I guess it's in their genes...

 

[phoenix566]

I'm pretty sure you packed mine

Got it on tonight hoping for some mojo!

Thanx

 

[Anders]

I still haven't ironed mine

Might even wash 'em at some stage

 

[Neemer]

I'm actually NOT surprised..

 

[Ripper]

LOL Jack, thats funny!
By the way, how can i get a t-shirt without signing up with a book?
I promise if it comes dirty i will wash it and not complain. LOL

 

[prospector]

used?
what the hell is a used tee-shirt!

wash it ...
and it's brand new baby!

i have to wash it before i wear a new one. they just feel too stiff otherwise.

 

[Senor Capper]

Did it come complete with spagetti stains ?
Hey that should cost him extra !


May I quote Monty Python ?
You lucky lucky bastard !

 

[prospector]

i was going to, but i just have to tell you all a little story. it's about "used" tee-shirts.

honest.

well, anyway, like a couple lives ago i had this gig as a "merchandising manager" for some pretty big acts. i would travel all over north american flogging tees and posters and whatever rock paraphanelia was cool at the time. i started out as a vendor but worked my way up and next thing i know i'm on a plane with Annie Lennox.

anyways. before that ...
i worked the Corey Hart tour. i puked (another rock term for selling) so much cotton on that tour we needed Brinks everynight. and never got to sleep in a real bed. always on the road. so nearly everyday we would get a fresh shipment of shirts. and after every show we would pack up this big Ryder cube van with what little we had left over ...

and then i would tear into the new shipment ...

it's like 80F on an August night. hot and humid. sticky even. especially in the back of a cube van.

... i would rip open the new shipment and make the most awesome ROCK FUTON you could ever imagine! nice warm shirts fresh off the press. rolled up and packed neatly beside each other. and stuff a couple of sweat shirts for pillows.

and then load it up with stray teenage chicks that would do anything for an autographed poster. add in whatever we could snag from the dressing room ...

party on to the next gig! and i mean party!

of course we would sell all those new tee-shirts there and start over.

thought i would share that ... just in case you ever wondered what those stains were on your "new" Rock Testimonal Souvenir.

Hey prospector, did you wear your sunglasses at night. I swear to God, if I hear that song one more time, I'm gonna lose it. It's like the lyrics of stevie, just like a one armed dove. Tell me what that means?

 

[Neemer]

Got one for ya....

Unfortunately in my line of biz, I have to deal with an enormous amount of bounced checks. Last month alone, I had 17 of the bastids'. The procedure is to call, then give 'em 48hrs to take care of the damn thing. If they don't show, I turn the bounced check over to the local County Attorney's office. They in turn start the collection process with numerous letters and fines. Still only a misdemeanor in KY.

Well to make a long story short, one of the bounced checks was from a chick in her mid 30's. Placed the call and she said she would be in the next day to take care of it. Check amount was $7.14 cents. As usual, she was a no show so I had one of my girls call her again to tell her that we were gonna turn the check over the following day if she didn't make restitution. It is also up to the individual business on what they charge for a bounced check. At my place, it's $25 bucks which was nearly 3 times the amount of her original check.

I told one of my employees to tell the woman I'd only charge her $10 if she showed up that day. She strolls in bout 6:30 to take care of it. Total amount was $17.14; $10 for the handling charge and $7.14 for the initial amount.

So help me God, she pulls a checkbook and pen out of her purse and starts writing me another check in the amount of $17.14. As you can imagine, I got a little pissed and told her she couldn't pay for a bad check with another bad check. She pleaded with me that she indeed had money in her acct. at the time and her check would not bounce. I guess I could've called the bank, but the way I looked at it is I've already wasted too much time on this so I decided not to do it.

Once the re--tard knew she wasn't gonna be allowed to write me another check, she then asked me if I would cash a check for her b/c she didn't have the $17.14 to take care of the bad check. At that moment, I got my keys and went home.....I still don't know what happened, and I informed everyone that I didn't WANT to know....

Had MadJack-
I got my shirt. Thanks- wore it tonight and it brought me some luck! Don't think I'm gonna wash it as long as I'm winning! LOL!

If it wasn't for Oak- it could have been a huge night.

Thanks again for sending it as quick as you did and it's too bad that some guys don't appreciate the extra perks that you give us.

 

[prospector]

jigs ...

just like a one armed dove

i believe stevie doesn't think a man does it quite the way she would like it ... if you know what i mean. i'm guessing the dove may even be battery operated.

lmao

 

[AR182]

Jack....How come you are not ironing the shirts ?You should take time from your busy schedule of monitoring this site,of supporting your family to fold,& iron these shirts before packing them for shipment. lol

 

[ctownguy]

Jack

You should take a page from prospector's book and go on a nationwide tour and really give out dirty t-shirts'

Where was I when this was going on, Oh yea I was calling ball & strikes and prospector was getting balled

 

[Duncan]

Jack;

I'm a very new (and very impressed) member of this august group. In addtion, I'm a foreigner....I'm going home to England for a couple of weeks in Sept. Would love to be wearing a MadJack T-Shirt when I go and spread the word about this forum.

So, how do I get one.

Thanks.

 

[phoenix566]
