				 The Race to Insanity and Beyond! 
 I finally learned what those little numbers on shirts mean.  Until a few days ago, I only understood S, M, L, XL, and XXL as shirt sizes, and I was mystified by numbers like 17  34-35.  I knew that medium size fits me so I buy "M".  If it had those weird numbers instead, I didn't buy those particular shirts because I didn't understand.  
 Finally I got frustrated and asked the salesperson at the clothes store.  I didn't understand her explaination so I bugged her some more and finally I understood that the first number is the collar size.  You put a tape measure around your neck and the number of inches is the collar size.  The other two numbers, like 32-33 is the sleeve length in inches, and if there's two numbers like that with a dash in between, it's a range and either one is OK.
