#1: Mental Floss T-Shirts
I'm not really into graphic tees or shirts with phrases on them. (There's nothing more banal than a shirt that says something like "Come back when your hot!" (sic) ). These, however, are an exception to that rule and some of my favorite favorites:
- I avoid cliches like the plague.
- Forever Jung
- Hokey Pokey Anonymous: A Place to Turn Yourself Around
- Christians have the best sects.
- Easy as 3.141592...
If you'd like to buy one (*cough*...for me...) go here. (...I also wouldn't mind the guy in the Pluto shirt, but I think that would be a little expensive for most of you).
