> [@Omar\_Little](#): > > There’s a liquor store in Avon, CO, which is at the base of Beaver Creek ski resort, called Beaver Liquor. They sell all sorts of t-shirts and hats with their store name and logo on it. It is a very popular spring break tourist stop. The one poker run held for a special pet shelter has terrific t-shirts. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CAT HOUSE. They sold 5 times as many shirts as they had entries the first couple years.

One of Bangkok’s blowjob bars, Lolitas (you can google their website), used to sell T-shirts that said something like, “I got blown away at Lolitas.” I knew one guy who wore it back Stateside until someone loudly asked him in a crowded room while he was wearing it, “Hey, Lolitas! Isn’t that that blowjob bar in Bangkok?” ---

I saw a woman at the dollar store wearing a shirt that said 'don’t be a pussy, eat one. ’ I thought, classy. ---

I always thought witty t-shirt and bumper sticker slogans were lame. They’re funny for two seconds, tops, but then you have to wear it the rest of the day, or have it on your car as long as you own it. That gets old fast. But I once knew a guy who tattooed a rooster with a noose around its neck on his calf so he could tell every woman he met that he had “a cock that hung below his knees”. I’ll never be surprised by a t-shirt again. ---

When my brother was working retail he was mortified to see one of his friends in the store wearing a t-shirt with just the c-word emblazoned across it in bold, block letters. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > Nope, Pittsburgh. I’m guessing he got it on vacation. A local [sandwich shop](https://www.primantibros.com/shop/) sells shirts that say “Bite Me”. (Their employees also wear them) And the place is _almost famous_ for it. 🙂 Seriously though, we do seem to have more t-shirts and slogans of questionable taste than most cities. The one that always bothered me for some reason was Whiskey Dick’s (where at least the drinks are stiff). ---

What’s wrong with Rocky Mountain Way? Am I just a wide-eyed innocent? Locally we have a Weed Street that goes missing, I have heard, quite often. ---

I will always laugh at [this photo.](http://www.snopes.com/photos/signs/graphics/austria2.jpg) (For the non-German speakers: The sign below the village limits sign says… “PLEASE, NOT SO FAST” …and that, plus the image on the sign, plus the name of the place, lead to uncontrollable tittering). ---

> [@Zsofia](#): > > What’s wrong with Rocky Mountain Way? Am I just a wide-eyed innocent? There’s nothing ‘wrong’ with it, _per se_. The sign simply would be high on some people’s steal list because it’s the name of a popular Joe Walsh song and, later, compilation album. After leaving The James Gang and living in Colorado he had an epiphany while looking at the Front Range and realized the Rocky Mountain way was better than the way he’d had. ---

The only shirt I’ve worn that comes remotely close to that was a shirt that had the Nike logo on it and underneath, it read: “Just did it.” And that was back in my 20-somethings. I wouldn’t even wear that today. ---
