Saw a lot of clever shirt slogans at the fair, but I really liked this one worn by a brewmaster in Cheeseland whom I met Saturday:

At least it doesn't say "Drink Wisconsin Dry, " which I think I tried to do once back in the 70's.

I like that.
Our local natural meat place had a "meet the rancher/farmer" day couple of weeks ago. One of their pork providers had various bacon t-shirts which I enjoyed. Should have a bought one.

My favorite t-shirt slogan is "I'm just two girls shy of a threesome". Wish I had bought that one.

I love tee-shirts. Got a cabinet full of them. Not so much clever sayings. Usually just places and events. But I love them. The bigger the graphic the better. Sue, on the other hand, doesn't like to wear cloths that have anything written on them. We make an interesting pair. She's prim and proper, and I'm a walking billboard. One of my old fav tee shirts (long dead from overuse) was a free shirt advertising Screaming Yellow Zonkers. (not the actual image on the tee shirt)

Sue and I have something in common. When our kids were young, I wouldn't allow them to wear clothes with writing on them. I've eased up some.

I have lots of t shirts. Music, guitar, places we have been, Gruhn, Elderly, Spruce Tree, Podium, one that says "This Old Spouse", a Bertha's Kitty Boutique, one that says "I am the Stupid Everyone is With" and a few dozen others. I never wear them anymore other than to sleep. My Favorite right now for sleeping is the Robert Johnson classic cigarette photo. I have no idea what to do with them all. I suppose I could sell them for a few coins at the next garage sale. I donate some now and then to the food and clothing bank. I have no idea how I got so many and now that I don't really wear them anymore, they seem to be taking up a lot of space.

I avoid wearing cotton shirts anymore, I now insist on the type of plastic that wicks sweat away quickly, much more comfortable. That means I don't buy or wear any T-shirts with clever sayings anymore.
But my wife loves them, so I get her some for Christmas each year.
"Soft kitty, warm kitty, etc."
"I drink coffee for your protection."
"Move over coffee, this is a job for alcohol."
"You're just jealous 'cause the voices only talk to me."

The problem with T-shirts isn't the writing but the lack of pockets. Shirts should have at least 2 pockets.

Just roll the ciggies up in the sleeve Been there done that. But even that only counts for one pocket. When I stopped sitting on my wallet (messes up your back to sit on wallet) I needed the second pocket for my wallet. I think the training we received when younger that your wallet went in your left hip pocket went back to an era when men sat less.

My father was always one who absolutely refused to advertise for anybody on any clothing. It's like asking a car dealer to pay me a fee for allowing them to put their name on the back of the car I was about to buy. Most just laugh at me...at first. When they realize I'm not kidding, we finally discuss a discount to account for it.

When they realize I'm not kidding, we finally discuss a discount to account for it. My father was that way about dealer names on the back of a car. Usually he got a car before they had a chance but he bought a Buick in the '70s and made the dealer order a new trunk lid for it because they had drilled holes to put the dealer name deal on the car. I learned from him to tell a dealer when you started talking to them that any price they quoted better be the write a check price. An one cent and he would walk. Which meant he always ended up dealing with the sales manager because the salesmen had no idea how to quote a write a check price. It was fun seeing him walk out over $18 one time. So any single item purchase over about a $100 I always ask for the write a check price. What every price they quote better include tax, tag, etc.

One of my favorites. Wait—is this some kind of in-joke? Any typographer worth his lead knows that's not Helvetica... It's Comic Sans.

Yes. Yes it is. Cameron has this shirt used to wear it to his graphic design class just to make his instructor squirm. He wore it to the first day of class and she saw it and said, "That's just wrong."

My family were vacationing in 2005 during eastern northern Australia, we found this tourista tee shirt store. My 15 yr old son really liked a black tee shirt, it had tiny tiny tiny words on the left chest, it words sez, "NOSY LITTLE FUCKER, AREN'T YOU?". His high school counselor, the man talked you on my cell and he said, "He can't dress this shirt at the school classes!" I smiled, "Why?" He was irated, "Unacceptable! ", and he hung up on me! The little fucker!
