Joke for 13/01/19

This is a very serious appeal for help on behalf of a very well known charity who in this particular instance feels it best if they are not named, for reasons of anonymity, so we will just call them X.

The reason that this route of funding has cropped up is due to the now well established fashion of wearing pseudo torn jeans. These are being produced in their millions by the sweat shops of the Far East.

Up to recently the girls and boys who did the sewing were supplying the holes, to put into the new garments, from their own clothes. But now that they have a little more money they are discarding their old clothes and buying new before the holes appear. Hence there is a shortage of genuine holes, and hole substitutes are having to be used. Unfortunately the hole substitutes are very easily recognised for what they are, just imitation.

X has come to an agreement with a wholesaler in the Far East, who supplies cloth and sewing materials, that they will contribute 1 Chinese yuan ( = 0.0955849155 British pounds) per dozen for just as many holes as he receives from the UK. These will then be sold on to the manufacturers at cost.

So what we are looking for is for the good folk of the UK to send as many real holes as possible to:-

Chingdo Yellow Tiger Sewing
Yingling Road, 238a Unit
Mentougou
Beijing 34
The Peoples Republic of Chinese

Holes can be sent quite cheaply at normal postal rates in a plain Manilla envelope.

Precautions:-
Do not mix holes of different sizes in the same envelope because one can slip accidentally inside another.
Do not cut them to size to fit in any envelope. This sometimes causes fraying at the edges.
By all means fold the holes to fit the size of envelope to hand, but do not fold them too many times as they some times get weakened at the fold.
Please mark on the back of the envelope the number and size of the holes contained in it. This facilitates rapid handling by Chingdo Yellow Tiger Sewing.
