Ben....Garners Ferry

My friend Millicent and I were waiting to place our bagel order when we spied Ben. I believe it was his Samson-like mane that caught Milli's eye. I, on the other hand, was taken by his t-shirt, for it occurred to me that before there was Garden & Gun there was Guns 'N' Roses. What to make of this penchant for flora and firearms?

I inquired if this Ph.D candidate at the university had a philosophy of fashion. "Wear what's clean," was Ben's response. And though he says yes, he is a fan of the band, Ben doesn't recall spending any money to get the shirt: "I think it's my brother's."
