    My brain hurts. I think it’s supposed to say: throwback to when I found this gem in a value village in Houston, Texas. Gym was a stretch, otherwise pretty funny.

      It’s spelled phonetically. Texans tighten up the long e to sound like an elongated short i. When becomes win, gem becomes gym.
