From my dad’s collection: “Metaphors Be With You” He’s a creative writing prof, & he loves that one. I used to have one with 2 quotes on the back: “I cannot live without books.” – Thomas Jefferson “I don’t want to live in a country that can’t make its own television sets.” – H. Ross Perot ---

I have a black t-shirt that says “As a matter of fact, the world does revolve around me” in white letter. My friend Mike has a t-shirt with the First Amendment on the back. I saw these two over the weekend, shopping with my sister-in-law at the mall: [li] A t-shirt with a picture of a cat that says “If you want a friend…get a dog”[/li][li] A sweatshirt covered in pawprints that says “My cat walks all over me”[/li]Can you tell I’m a cat-person? ---

I actually have bought these tees, and wear them occasionally: 1. WARNING We smokers have determined that your bitching may be hazardous to your health. 2. The weather’s here, wish you were beautiful. 3. I am not only perfect, but I am Irish, too!. [sub]I have only worn the last one once in an Irish bar on St. Patrick’s Day. When people asked me if I was Irish, I had to reply: “No…Unfortunately, I am only perfect!” ---

Ok, this isn’t a favourite - it just stands out in my mind because of how inappropriate it was… For a while in high school, I attended Youth Group at the local chuch. One of the other girls wore a t-shirt that said > [@](#): > > I’m not as think as you stoned I am All the time I spent there, and my most vivid memory is that shirt! ---

I saw one once with a lady using a razor on a beaver. It was drawn in a 1940s textbook illustration style. The lady was thinking, “My husband asks me to do the craziest things sometimes!” ---

Because schools are pussified and snivelling. They’re worried about torrential lawyer downpours and have ex-psych majors who couldn’t hack it as their rules enforcers. [sub]Note: if you happen to be a dean or other person in a position of authority in a school, and you _aren’t_ seen as a total dick by your student body, and you _are_ an ex-psyche major who couldn’t hack it - by all means lemme know. [/sub] 😃 I just thought of another great shirt I got kicked out of school for: Had a headless dude holding up a sign: Will work for HEAD. ---
