Marge

Some medium shirts fit perfect, while others are too snug. Some large shirts fit fine, while others are way too big. I've been in this predicament for months now, and it's becoming very frustrating. Others know what I am talking about, as this has been a topic of conversation many times. The general consensus... why not have an in-between size called the Marge (medium + large). Problem solved.

This made me think of the little kid size, "husky." Husky is just a nice word for clothing size so you don't have to call your kid fat. I was a husky kid. Never a fat kid.

For the past 8 months, I've had to retire some of my favorite shirts, and there were times that I've had to change shirts because I could barely raise my arms. Just picture me dancing and singing, "fat man in a little shirt." At times, people would tell me that my button ups were showing too much chest, but truthfully, that top bottom couldn't button without me feeling like I was wrapped in ceran wrap. I didn't want to be that guy wearing ridiculously tight shirts, I know many that do, so I remember the day I graduated to the large. This transition has been difficult, cuz all my larges seem to differ in length and width. Some seem to be made for marginally large people, while others for the extremely large people. What do I do now?

So if you're a shirt company (perhaps Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, Calvin klein, etc) and you are reading my blog, which I highly doubt, you can have my business idea. You can even be innovative and come out with the smedium, or perhaps the extra marge for those refusing to hit the XL. Sounds reasonable, right?
