My favorite was custom made by a friend of mine as a gift for another friend. He took a white t-shirt and airbrushed in red and black on the front an arrow pointing up and the phrase, “I’m on stupid.”

I’ve said this before but I like it so much…

“If I wanted your opinion, I’d take my d\*ck out of your mouth”

I have one that says

Carton of eggs…$3  
Ski Mask…$15  
Tickets to a Brittany concert…$53

Egging the crap out of America’s pop princess…Priceless

I know of some other offensive ones, but I don’t think anyone would think they’re funny except me.

I own a T that reads :

**Out of Work Porn Star**

I wore it to work once and was asked politely not to do so ever again. Sigh.

Still looking for a gig though !

I saw a dog shirt once at a pet store. It had picture of an Ace of Spades on it, and then underneath that it said: “(Get it?)”

I almost bought it, but they didn’t have it in Scottish Terrier size. That and my dog is a boy. Oh well

Ok, these are from the sub set of running T-Shirts…

“Distance runners keep it up longer.”

“Run like you stole something.” (My favorite…)

Er… those are the only two I can seem to think of right now. Oops. I had more. Really…

In _Teenwolf,_ Michael J’s buddy wears a t-shirt that says “What are you looking at dicknose?” I’ve never heard “dicknose” before or since.

Also, one can find lots of highly exclusive geek stuff at [ThinkGeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com): here are a few:

\*Will Work for Bandwidth

#!/usr/bin/girl

rm -rf/bin/laden

Go away or I’ll replace you with a very small shell script.

My computer is bigger, better and faster than yours.\*  
A popular one among students here is “You’re just jealous cos the little voices are talking to me.” I can never afford them though: you’re talking £10 minimum for a smartalec t-shirt these days. I found one in a charity shop that said “Sold Out”, though. I bought it, because I have.

**Everything I Need to Know I Learned from Porn**

I bought that for an old friend a few years ago. Her boyfriend was named Brian, but everyone called him Porn for some reason. It was really funny for those of us who knew them.
