Jean Youn: Reduce the clutter, recycle wire hangers

Today I want to share a joke with you.

There are many various hangers at my cleaners. Some of them have been there for a long time, and are old. Some, which have been just delivered at the cleaners as ordered a few days ago, are brand new. I overheard what they were saying to each other.

An old hanger said to a new one, “Never forget that you are a hanger.”

Wondering why the old one said that, the new one responded, “Of course, I know well that I’m a hanger.”

The old one explained: “Well, at first, every hanger knows that. However, there are very expensive clothes around here. Sometimes, the hangers on which those fancy and expensive clothes are put have an illusion that they themselves are the expensive clothes. I have seen such instances many times. Sometimes we can wear cheap and shabby clothes. Sometimes we may wear luxurious and dazzling ones. No matter what, we keep them in good shape. That’s what we do. We are just hangers.”
