Heh. Check out this guy. Wore the same sweater vest for 40 years of school pictures.

[progressoid]

In every school picture for the past 40 years, Dale wore the same 1970s-era polyester shirt and coffee-colored sweater.

And let me just say he aged a whole lot better than his clothes did.

It began as an accident — a product of his sparse wardrobe back in the day.

“I was so embarrassed when I got the school pictures back that second year and realized I had worn the very same thing as the first year,” said Dale, 63.

But his wife, Cathy, dared him to do it a third year. Then Dale thought five would be funny. “After five pictures,” he said, “it was like: ‘Why stop?’”

So he just never did, right on through this, his final year as every kid’s favorite physical education teacher at Prestonwood Elementary in the Richardson school district.

"“We have promised ourselves we’re not going to eat lunch in 20 minutes,” Cathy said with a laugh.
As for the shirt and sweater vest, Dale figures they will spend a quiet retirement in the back of his closet.
“I don’t think the Smithsonian would want them,” he said."

7. Good Queer Eye candidate.

He must not have a picky woman (mom, sister, gf) or a queer eye in his life. I would have told him, "No, you are not wearing that sweater again." And then I'd burn it or give it to Goodwill.
