hmmm... My 1st paycheck... i didnt get myself any Oakley. I didnt even know whats Oakley back then.
What a loser i was.... erm.. not that i'm any less right now. heck.
I'd carry a pen like that in case someone needed to borrow it to sign the credit card slip for the Oakley's they just bought me! I'd be like "Yeah, it's a Mont Blanc...thanks for the Romeo 2's!"
i have no idea what i did with my first paycheck ever, but i do remember when i got my first internship paycheck i bought my first Oakleys, a second generation E Wire with Oakley RX Black Iridium lenses... i was oh so happy.
I am reading this correctly - a pen? WTF? Reminds me of a really funny Kids in the Hall skit from a few years back: "My Pen! My Pen!"....I bought Converse Weapons Hi-Tops with my first Pizza Hut paycheck back in 1987 (They cost me $100 CDN and I was making $3.65/hour!)
I think I made a car payment with my first check....but I did buy my first Oakleys (Juliets) out of my first bonus check about 5 years ago...it was a business goal.... Ahhh the simpler days...
