My favorite one was:  
\*\*You Don’t Need to Look at my Chest

These aren’t the Breasts You’re Looking For

You can go About your Business

Move Along\*\*  
Not as distracting as the contents, though.

I often get distracted by tees that have only a teaser on the front and the full joke on the back. At street fairs I will often see many of these, and go around “discreetly” following people until they turn the right way. Sometimes it’s impossible to be discreet and then I get flustered and back off, cursing myself for being intimidated by strangers in a public place where I have every right to be, and even every right to gawk at them.
