In the local mall, I saw a t-shirt with 2 lines of text:

_Tu eres un pendejo.  
You are a friend._

Even with my limited Spanish, I had a chuckle on this one.

Anyone else see interesting t-shirts this holiday season?

The funniest t-shirt I’ve ever seen says:

The Head Foundation  
_Please Give Generously_

😕 I understand the meaning of each sentence by itself. Why are they funny when seen together on a T-shirt?

I assume because they’re getting one by the dumb gringoes, who conclude “Tu eres un pendejo” \*means \*“You are a friend.”

My favorite t-shirt of all times had a little demon on the front and Maxwell’s 4 equations on the back. I almost had to be walking through a physics lab for anyone to “get it”. Wish I had bought more when I had the chance.

Best one lately has to be “Jesus died for your sins ------- and all I got was this lousy tshirt”

Was it Cecil who wrote about Anglo employers so stupid they thought “tu madre” meant “Yes, boss”?

I get (too many) clever t-shirts as gifts when I hardly ever wear them any more. I got one for Xmas I will be wearing proudly when I feel like mucking with people.

A girl on a bus had one that said “Lets not ruin it by talking”. It was doubly funny because it was in Mexico. And probably no one understood it. I just gave her a thumbs up and pointed at her t-shirt.

For Christmas I got a t-shirt that reads “If I agreed with you then we’d both be wrong”.

I don’t speak Spanish, yet oddly, I don’t consider myself stupid.

Agreed, as far as it goes.

But …

An employer who chooses to hire many folks who predominantly speak Spanish and then makes no effort to understand at least a little of what’s said around him/herself is demonstrating a lot of cluelessness as a manager. Mostly as a matter of business efficiency and self preservation, with cultural sensitivity a minor consideration at best.

I saw one in a catalog yesterday that I liked enough to snip out (even though I wouldn’t buy the T-shirt):

Karma takes way too long.  
I’d rather just smack you right now.

Spotted Sunday: “I MET GOD, SHE’S BLACK”

That reminds me, I really need to replenish my ridiculous tee shirt collection.

Punchline to an old joke - an old Southern racist dies, then a few days later his friend dies. They meet in heaven, and the first one confides, “Now, go easy here, Jeb. I met God the otha day, and she’s a Negro…”

I’m well past the age where I can get away with wearing a t-shirt that has anything at all written on it. But my favourite funny t-shirt has been and continues to be a plain white tee with tiny writing that you’d have to get real close to read, that says, “You’re so fucking nosy.”

Still makes me chuckle.

See? I’m doing it right now.
