Here’s a lighthearted story to make you chuckle. The Dallas Morning News recently reported the story of a high school gym teacher who wore the same clothes for his annual yearbook photo–every year for his entire 40-year career!
The 2012-2013 Prestonwood Elementary School yearbook marks the outfit’s final appearance. According to the Dallas Morning News, [Dale] Irby retired after a 40-year career.
Irby’s work wardrobe consisted mainly of athletic clothes. With few formal options, he chose the shirt and sweater combo for his first yearbook photo in 1973. The following year, he accidentally repeated the outfit, he told the Dallas Morning News.
“I was so embarrassed when I got the school pictures back that second year and realized I had worn the very same thing as the first year,” he said.
His wife, Cathy, a language arts teacher, dared him to repeat the outfit for his third yearbook photo. Irby thought it would be funny to extend the prank for five years. “After five pictures,” he said, “It was like, ‘Why stop?’”
