I hate to tell you, but I found it at a street vendor’s booth somewhere outside UC Berkeley maybe 12 years ago. I just did a little lackadaisical searching, but I couldn’t find it online.

Every time I wear my [Maddox shirt](http://store.theworstpageintheuniverse.com/shirts.html#GRMADSTAR), I get either the anti-Commie stink eye or “Maddox rules!”

I saw one the other night I thought was cute-

In Gothic script- Jesus is Coming.

In a little cartoon dialog bubble- Hide the porn!

I commented to the teen kid & his mom that while I am religious, I found that funny. They were glad to hear that.

I’ve got a couple “Help the Poor or go to Hell” T-shirts. I’m sure they’re bound to offend someone (esp. since I’m an atheist. 😉 )
