I have one that says

> [@](#):

> _Originally posted by My Shirt_  
> **Support Your Local Police: Beat The Shit Out Of Yourself**

I thought it was classic when I bought it, but every time I wear it out of the houseI am so sure that I’m gonna get pulled over and have my ass raped with a club. So, it probably wasn’t the wisest purchase I ever made.

My favorite shirt:

“Aren’t I just a f%$@king ray of sunshine?”

Others I like:

“Nobody knows I’m a lesbian” (worn by a guy friend, who is tall, has a shaved head and can look very menacing in a black trenchcoat)

“Don’t make me get my flying monkeys!”

“If you are what you eat, I could be you by morning” (worn by a friend at a horror convention; there’s a picture of him wearing it on my website)

I love t-shirts with cool sayings. I need to buy more.

My sister has a t-shirt that says “That’s Ms. Bitch to You!” She also has another one that says “What the f\*\*\* are you looking at?” in large letters right across her tits.

My favorite shirt is an orange one that says, in black:

[WTF?](http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/apparel/3670.shtml)

Another couple of favorites are:

I got kicked out of school for wearing this f\*\*king t-shirt

If you’re already this close why don’t you just suck my d\*\*k?

I have a t-shirt that says, “If you’re illiterate, you can’t read this,” on the front and, “GO READ A BOOK!” on the back.

I’ve seen camouflage tees that say, “You can’t see me!”

A mate of mine had a T-Shirt with a picture of Hitler in the Seig Heil Pose, with a caption that read “My hemp plants grew THIS tall last year!”.

</div>

A fellow I know has a shirt that reads:

> [@](#):
>
> **Inside each of us, there is a sleeping cop,  
> and he must be killed.**

As the fates would have it, he happened to be wearing that shirt the very night a grow-house he was visiting was taken down by half a dozen heavily-armed police. They thought it funny enough that they each posed for pictures with him. It’s a funny old world.

Also a truely nerdy one that a friend of mine owns
