3 of my favorite t-shirts say:

1. Everyone is out to get me because I’m paranoid.

2. 5 out of 4 people have a problem with fractions.

3. I hear voices in my head and they don’t like you.

Any other humorous ones you would like to share?

My former roommate had a shirt that simply said, “Fu_k you, you fu_king fu\*k!” (unedited on the t-shirt)

Wore it to the bar every weekend. A true classic.

I went to a music festival held by the local alternative station in Atlanta right after the September 11 incident. At the concert, someone was selling black t shirts that said simply in large white letters:

```
             F*CK TERRORISM

```

Thought that was pretty awesome. 🙂

My absolute favorites that I have worn completely out:

“I am the woman your mother warned you about.” I have to get another one of those.

“Save a horse. Ride a cowboy.”

On one of my “Nice People Swallow” shirts, a friend made the happy faces all have little vampire fangs.

“Witness Protection Program.” (on the back) “I wasn’t here.”

“FUGITIVE (I wasn’t here)”

Every so often, Bob Levey of the Washington Post newspaper has a column which lists several of the t-shirt sayings that I have seen here, sent in by readers. So check out his column in the Style section. I’m not sure when he’s going to run this list again. I’ll have to remember to check where I put those lists.
