If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
We were cleaning out one of our homes, and noticed a couple of items that were left in the home. These have to be, by far, the ugliest sweaters I've ever seen:
Now, the pictures of these things don't really do them justice (which is no fault of my co-worker who is holding them). Those various painted items you see on the sweaters (the anchor, boat, sea horses, etc...) are all made of wood that's about a half inch thick. There is a small hole in the top of each of the items where thread is run through and then sewn into the sweater, causing the little wood trinkets to flop around like ornaments on a Christmas tree.
I'd like to meet the person who wore those things. Actually, maybe I don't.
