Chef Wear And Chef Wear Make For A Good Halloween Costume

This past Halloween , my friend Nick, walked out of his bathroom to proudly show me his costume. Chef Wear totally from head to toe. He even wore a Chef Jacket and a Chef Wear. When he asked me what I thought, I said, “All that Uncommon Threads isn’t a costume, Nick. You work in a restaurant, you are a chef and that is not a costume, it’s your uniform .”
“ Actually,” he said, “ I’m a sou chef and these are head Chef Wear.”
“ Is there supposed to be a difference?” I replied .
“ Yeah,” he said. “The head chef is the head chef and the sou chef is sort of the manager, if you will, of the kitchen.”
“ But most people don’t know the difference,” I asked. ‘ Everyone’s just going to assume you’re a chef and a chef’s a chef.”
“Whatever. What about your costume?” he asked, brushing the dust off the arms of his Chef Coat.
“Is it not apparent ?” I said. “I’m a priest.”
I wore black from head to foot and had even put on a collared shirt. It’s extremely rare for me to put on a collared shirt. The reason I never wear them is because I feel like they are similar to a noose, they suck the life out of me . Collared shirts remind me of straight jackets, and to be brutally honest I feel as if what comes along with them could be enough to send me into a mental institution . Don’t get me wrong, I have had an office position before, but none that have caught my liking. Now they have work shirts that lack collars. There have been a few casual offices where they didn’t mind if I felt like wearing a sneakers and a sweatshirt . But, anyway, I’m digressing, which I tend to do more and more these days. Maybe it’s because few people listen so I figure the more I talk, the better chance I have of being heard . And there I go again. Back to my story.
I slipped my hand into my pocket and retrieved my minister collar . Then I snapped it around my shirt collar. Do you know how hard it is to find a minister collar? . I looked through all these antique stores , thrift stores, and other varieties of stores that sold Chef Apparel like that. Also , I researched online as well, but I kept wondering if I could get a decent looking priest’s collar for less than the 60 pounds it was [spni] advertised | promoted [/spin] for on all those web sites.
Finally, I was wandering in and out of a few costume shops and just happened to stumble past a ministers collar for 20 pounds . It wasn’t genuine and in fact looked really ragged , but it was the top bargain I was going to get and I doubted anyone would really be able to tell the difference.
Nick looked at me long and hard and then shook his head.
“Dude you look ridiculous, that isn’t even a ministers collar ,” he said. “ Why are you giving me grief? Not one personal will believe that you are dressed up like a minister, they will think that you are just all dressed in black . Everyone will think that I’m actually a chef though thanks to all this Chef Wear I borrowed from work.”
“I hate to point out the obvious, but you are a chef, therefore it doesn’t count !” I said.
“We already went over what I am !” Nick said. “ And my costume is that of a head chef!”
I stared at him incessantly .
“ No one will be able to tell the dissimilarity ,” I replied .
“Between you and a real priestor do you mean between a head chef costume and a sou chef costume?” Nick asked.
“ Both of them!” I bellowed.
