Message on a Tee

I am not sure if it is the latest trend or if I have only started noticing it now, but there is definitely an increase in the number of people wearing t-shirts with messages. Probably, the youth of today are proud or daring enough to endorse their opinions through statements on their clothing. Whatever the reason for the spurt of these message tees, they certainly manage to catch the eye of even a passer-by. So, here are the ones which captured my attention among the many which I saw on roads, busy streets, shops, television shows and homes.

Pithy statements which ring true ....
Doubt is waste of time
Cash is king

Pearls of wisdom ....
Always borrow money from a pessimist, he will never expect it back
If you can't convince them, confuse them
Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them
Excellence is doing a common thing in an uncommon way

Some are funny while some are, well, inexplicable.....
Of all the things I lost, I miss my mind the most
I was born intelligent, Orkut ruined me
I avoid making sarcastic comments (yeah right like that's ever gonna happen)
Only a biker knows why a dog puts his head out of the car's window
I'm not lazy I'm just saving energy

And then there are the inevitable satirical takes on the fairer sex....
Not all men are fools, some stay bachelors
Phones are better than girlfriends, at least we can switch them off
You look like my next girlfriend
 The more I drink, the better you look ( This one was particularly interesting as it was worn by a 13/14 yr old boy accompanied by his father to a store where I was shopping. Either the father doesn't understand English, or he is one cool pop.)

Statements of optimism or vanity...
I see possibilities everywhere, even in the word impossible
It's not easy being this gorgeous ( Which would have put me off if it was not worn by my 4 yr old niece who totally rocked it!)

And finally my favourite..
Here come the girls! (Worn by my hubby's niece on the day a baby girl arrived in her household. Yaay! More power to you, girl!)

    I have tee with this caption on it. Not ideal for a scientist , right?
    I love tee shirts with captions.

  2. I know one that goes - 'I was born intelligent. Education ruined me.'

    Belongs to hubby, and must say it attracts a lot of comments.
