I’ve had this bouncing around in my head for a while now, and it makes me laugh. I’ve been considering making it into a shirt to sell through this site — the question is, would anyone buy it?
Personally, I can see all sorts of good occasions to wear a shirt like this.
Barhopping with friends.
Wandering around town.
Weddings.
Funerals.
Church.
Whenever.
Any takers?
Update: Okay, the deed is done. I got two “yes” answers by IM just after putting this post up, so I figured it was worth a shot. If this tickles your funnybone — go shopping and buy a shirt!
LOL church?? I think I would start going to church if I had that t-shirt :P I would love one but the Aussie – American exchange is still pretty shocking so it will cost me heaps! But feel free to send me a free one :P
You are too fucking funny.
I made up a shirt some weeks ago that says, “I’m a threat to national security” with a big scarlet “S” above it. I made sure to make up a baby jumper – you know how dangerous young kids can get these days…. ;-)
Okay, so I’m adding to the list of great places to wear the shirt:
Also – this may be one of the only times I mentally condone the his & hers matching outfits.
Prairie and I were talking about this, and I considered making shirts that say “We’re just here to get laid” that multiple people could wear all at the same time — anything from two people out on a date, to, oh, ten friends all out at a bar (maybe one for every member of a bachelorette party?). I figured that first I’d see how well this one went over….
I am sure people will buy it. First of all, it is funny. Secndly, people buy decals of Calvin urinating on this or that.
Somewhere between 1979-1984, Bettye Davis and I were tapped by DFYS to go to your (then future) alma mater, Bartlett HS. to take part in a job fair and lie through our teeth how good it is to work in the human service field. A young woman cane up to speak to us. To say the least, she was buxom. She was wearing a very tight t-shirt, and on it was printed, “I like a man with big tits.” After she left, Betty and I agreed that, not only would such a shirt not be allowed when we were in HS, in the high schools of the 60s, we were not allowed to wear t-shirts at all.
Other amusing ideas for places to wear this shirt:
Job interviews.
The gym.
I’ve been wanting to get a plain black T-shirt that says, all in caps, INSECURITY in large bold white text … and then go to a concert and stand next to the bouncers, looking nervous.
I can SOOOOOOOOO see you wearing that shirt =P. Of course, then again….I might have to get me one! Can you just think of the reactions I would get if I wore that around?!?! LOL
I would have to say that I would buy that shirt. Considering I have a shirt that says
“I [plane graphic] NY” and another that says “What about all the good things Hitler
did?”. I think the world in general needs to get a little less sensitive anyway so…
I concur with Marc. I made up these stickers a good while back, and they sold like hotcakes for a while – or at least until the ad-nazis at Google pulled my text-ad. (I still have some of these, by the way, in case anyone wants some.) Anyhow, if we’re going to make it through this national nightmare, we all need some good sick humor to get us through the day. I thought about serving Thanksgiving dinner at the homeless shelter this year. Having a shirt like this probably would have spurred me on to do it.
I remember those stickers — got a good laugh out of them (though as I’m carless and don’t hit gas stations too often, I didn’t pick any up).
Amen on needing humor to get through everything these days.
