As a special treat for everyone who is stuck at work this week, here is one the best pieces from the book, "Look At My Striped Shirt!" In addition to this classic piece from The Phat Phree, there are more than 50 never-before-published essays from some of the funniest writers on the site.
Look at my button down striped shirt! Fucking look at it! This shirt means one thing! I'm coming home with some pussy tonight! That's right! It's been a long week at the office and it's time to blow off a little steam! I am a Junior Vice President! I have business cards that say "Junior Vice President" on them! They're glossy and magnificent! Here! Have one! Take it!
My boys are coming out with me tonight! They all have striped shirts too!
I figure we'll kick off the night with some Golden Tee! I am going to smack the shit out of that little white ball! It's going to be so fucking loud! I'll bet I can drive that pretend golf ball 600 fucking yards tonight! I'm that fucking pumped!
I can almost taste those Jager Bombs right now! I fucking love Red Bull! I put it on my God damned cereal! I'm crushing one right now!
I'm thinking about buying a boat this year!
Party Fuel
I'm gonna fight someone tonight! I pray to God someone makes eye contact with me! I will beat his ass! And God help him if he gets any blood on my striped shirt! If he does, I'll scrub it out with his dick and some bleach! I mean it!
I'm gonna grind on girls asses tonight! You heard me! When I see a group of girls dancing in a circle, I will select the most attractive one and dry hump her until it hurts! I will rub my cock against her so that she can feel my throbbing hard on!
I will valet tonight!
I will treat the valet with contempt and make sure that he knows that I am superior to him in life! I will tell him to "Take it easy on the brakes, Champ"!
I will talk to people I don't know about my job tonight! They will all know that I am an important man! I will call female bartenders "Babe" and male bartenders "Chief"!
When I do not hook up with a girl at that club, I will say that the place is "full of skanks"! We will wait in a long line to go to another bar only to strike out again!
I will give up and decide to order a gyro off of a street vendor! I will make fun of him to my friends for being foreign! I will look ridiculous purchasing my gyro because people will be able to tell by my striped shirt and tinted sunglasses that I struck out and am settling for a gyro!
I will make one last attempt to hook up by trying to coax two big girls who are also ordering gyros to coming back to my place for "after hours"! When they say no I will make fun of them for being fat! I will leave!
When I get home I will go to the bathroom and hold the straight razor to my wrist again! I will gently drag the razor laterally against my vein, making sure not to actually cut myself!
I will then go to my room and pass out! I will need some shut eye so that I'll be ready to fucking party again tomorrow!
Much props Mike, way to tell it like it is. All the females have your back right now!

Get out of your East Villiage apartment and your courderoy pants and do something with yourself. You should be more fun and successful... And dude, chain wallets are so 1993! Come on Polk, get with the program.
It never ceases to amaze me how some people completely lack a sense of humor.

everyone is entitled to wear whatever they want. because they paid this guy to put on a striped shirt doesnt mean anything. if you look good in something why wouldn't you wear it? wearing a striped shirt is no different than wearing a dirty t-shirt as long as you feel good about it. we all need to give this guy break for simply wearing a shirt.

Seriously sweetheart, chill out. Did you read the thing above? It was intended to be funny. And when things are funny, we laugh and don't take them seriously. (And yes, I realize the irony of being so upset that I had to reply to her so don't even point it out to me.)
Oh god, I just miss my striped shirts so much.

Does it really take a striped shirt to make a man an asshole??? BTW loved the article though, very funny.

Hey Polk-
Stumbled across your site from a www.gawker.com link.
I nearly peed myself after reading the article. Then I scroll up to see your name attached. . .had to be the same Mike Polk I know. Anyways, great stuff! Hope you're doing well.

I think this guy date-raped me last weekend. I'm thinking about pressing charges.
