Four Hourglass Blocks

“I just saw these jeans at Nordstrom for some $400 with fake mud on them. That doesn’t make sense to people who’ve actually worked in the dirt. Look – I wear jeans. I like jeans. Some of my jeans actually have holes in them. Those holes happened as a result of wearing the jeans and doing some work. It’s like a scar. You get a scar, you get a story. There’s this sort of parallel between an overpriced pair of fake muddy jeans with an overpriced diploma from an institution that was happy to take borrowed money but not so happy to give you skills that would make you hirable. As much fun as it would be to go back in time with a pair of $400 fake muddy jeans from Nordstrom and show them to the guys on Dirty Jobs, I realize it would be a terrible thing to do because their heads would explode.” – Mike Rowe
