In the linear algebra class, Jason and Tommy sat discreetly in the back row, yet they still couldn't avoid becoming the most noticeable figures in the large classroom that accommodated over ninety students.
Students occasionally turned their heads and laughed as they looked them over.
"Thank you, Jason, for giving me such an intimate understanding of Spanish cuisine," Tommy said at the moment, dressed in the bulky mascot costume from a Spanish restaurant, making himself look like a Spanish ham. He stared at the podium and said despairingly to Jason, who was dressed as a fried cheese roll, "I told you to stay sober."
Knowing he was in the wrong, Jason could only comfort Tommy, saying, "Look on the bright side, Boss. Wearing these two costumes to class might convince the restaurant owner to pay us a small advertising fee, and at least we don't get mistaken for cross-dressers like those other jerks."
