My wife has yet to implement a “one shirt in, one shirt out” rule at our house, Rick, but I expect it any day now. She raises an eyebrow every time one of my Venture Bros. shirt club or Threadless packages shows up at the door, and I get a lot of “Where did all the new coathangers go?” questions, so it’s only a matter of time.
