Read My... Shirt?

I have never felt safer than I do working here. Everywhere I look, I see members of our Security team, and the other day, I even saw someone from the FBI! Well, at least I thought I did until, using my own detective skills, I discovered that this fine chap was in charge of a new branch of governmental protection... Female Body Inspection.

Ugh. I'm happy that your daughter is Daddy's Little Diva and that Jesus is your homeboy. But do you really need to display it on a shirt for the world to know? It seems that now more than ever, words are printed all over our attire. Shirts, hats, bags... you name it. They all seem to be saying something.

My apologies if your clothing falls into this category. By all means, let us know what your favorite expressive shirts say and why you love them so much. We're two pretty open-minded peas. Otherwise, tell us about some of the more ridiculous, rude or downright weird clothing statements (literally) that you've seen lately.

Oh, those kill me. Dude, you're not part of the SWAT team. Lose the hat. (Although I think we own one of those at our house from an inside family joke. That's different, of course. ;) ) And I'm pretty sure that NYPD wouldn't hire that guy with the giant beer gut who wheezes when he climbs the stairs. (At least, I hope not.)

A couple years ago, I bought a t-shirt for our oldest. I can't remember exactly what it said. It was something about accidents, which I thought was kind of funny because the kid is a human hurricane. When I got it home and showed it to Andrew, though, I totally realized that it could be taken as "I was an accident." Uh, no.

I returned it.

I love my parents, really I do, and my faith is the only reason I am still standing after the last two years of my life, BUT....

"Abercrombie and Fish"
"God is REAL, so live like He is"
"Lifesaver" with a cross or something like it.

Then there is the antithesis, my little brother, who is 21. His are:

"Drummers Bang the Best"
"If I Throw a Stick will you leave?"

Then there is my sister, who is 28 and is very well endowed:

"These say I get what I want"

Somehow I don't think my parent's t-shirts had the impression that they should have, do you?

Until reading the above statements, I thought my "Half man, Half Horse" shirt was cool. Guess I should have listened to my wife!

Erin said...

Dwide - I know I don't know you, and I am totally teasing....

...but most women would just take that to mean your "horse half" was the horse's behind.... :)

OK, I'm one of those people who really gets a kick out of those shirts, but I agree that there are some REALLY bad ones. But first.. Dwide, I know that you are NOT a horses back-end, but you shoud have listened to your Mrs. K. And t pea...you KNOW that the onsie for your youngest that said "Nobody puts baby in a corner" is a classic :)
So-I am a religious person, but I really don't like the "Life is Short, Pray Hard" shirt
OR the onsie "Daddy's Little Squirt" really grosses me out
OR "Knocked Up" for the prego woman
Just very tasteless...my two cents worth :)

Dwide Schrude said...

Erin, and in my case, wearing a shirt like that, you are spot on.

I used to have some shirts of the sort... Mine were a bit different I guess. I had a bright red shirt that read "Chico"... and it had a faded picture of who appeared to be Che Guevara... Uh... Okay. I also had another bright red shirt that read "They call me Shammy"... but they didn't... and that's good.

So... What's wrong with the FBI shirts and hats? I used to wear mine ALL the time... And from my experience, the ladies LOVE 'em. I mean, what self-respecting woman wouldn't want us to blatantly inspect her body? I guess I'm just man enough to display it... with my FBI logo.

Ladies... save a horse, ride a cowboy.

I don't have any shirts in this arena to speak of, but I've seen a couple that made me laugh. One had strawberries on it and it said Bite Me and one had a donut on it and it said I Love Carbs. I thought those were kind of cute, but I don't think I'd ever wear them in public.
