Across the chest on a female: “Five cougars thanks”

Now for the explanation. There is an ad on TV at the moment, this guy is waiting in a line. He mutter to himself something like “3 rum & cokes, a shot of vodka and a beer…3 rum & cokes, a shot of vodka and a beer”. He gets to the front of the queue and the barmaid is wearing a tight, low cut tee that says Cougars. He proceeds to order “Five cougars thanks”.

I wish I had a t-shirt that says

front:  
Make  
7

back:  
Up  
Yours

I might get in troble for wearing it though.

P.S.  
Congrats, geargirl, on making your 1st post on my thread.

Okay, I might have seen this somewhere, but I think I made it up 🙂

A yellow tshirt with “Oh hungry?” across the chest, then an arrow pointing down and vertical letters saying “Oh Henry!”

I bought one for my brother that had two insects on the front. An arrow pointed to the smaller one and a caption said **the lesser of two weevils**.

My favourite is one a local pita place sells. On the back of the shirt it says **this is the back of my shirt**.
