    Yeah I remember this being a thing. Well, it wasn’t a thing, but parents and teachers thought it was.

      Yeah I remember we would joke about it as if it were real because of the ridiculous rumors but I didn’t know that anyone actually believed it.

      It’s just an inelegant rendering of a quote in [16]:

      A very good friend of mine holds a very senior position at Countrywide. He called me this morning and said that he needs to get a green wristband saying “protect our house” on it and that he will need to wear it all of the time (at work and outside work as it is not removable). I asked him what the consequences of not getting such a wristband. He said “then, I will lose my job.”
