Sid's Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon

Rain and sleet projected for the entire day.  Attendance at coffee was good.

Sid came in from Onondaga.  He had something in his button hole.

A simulation of Sid's button hole decoration.  His was more faded.

It was a faded, red twist tie.

"Sid, what is that?"

"Well, Joe, that is my Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon."

"Sid, that ain't no ribbon.  That is a twist-tie."

"What's the difference?" Sid asked.

"A twist-tie has a wire." I replied.

Sid thought a second and then said.  "This is my way of showing special solidarity with women who have to wear under-wire bras.  Those breasts need love, too."

I think I was played.
