Q: What is the funniest English worded t-shirt you have seen a local wearing?

This one I saw the other day:
"It is illegal on other planets to lick doorknobs"

Second question:
What would be a great crazy Chinese character t-shirt be for foreigners to wear to make the locals laugh?

Once again, proving your ethnicity...those aren't 'stupid', but 'amusing'. And "I see stupid people" comes from.....? (any good wholesome American will know the answer to that - as well as a stack of English, Irish, Scottish, Canadian, Australian, Kiwi...e tc etc...)

who would actually wear a shirt that says "I'm with stupid!" I don't know if somebody would want to walk around with a shirt that says those things! It is amusing but usually off of reading it off of some website not walking around town with.

Mr. North Carolina... those are actually pretty popular shirts... especially among red necks (no offense to red necks). Certainly you've seen them in North Carolina, where you are from. and you can buy ME an I'm with Stupid T-shirt. And I can wear it as we walk arm in arm through T-Square.

Since I work at a college, I see a lot of English words on shirts, although most of it is garbled. Half the time they aren't even real words, just random letters. One of the most interesting has a young fashionable woman with a purse on it, and then "girafe" spelled big, with other smaller words that are supposed to go with it. What's interesting is the word giraffe is spelled correctly and incorrectly on the same shirt. With other words like "forver," "blule" and "hoeyr," it's a classic. If only I could find it and buy it for a friend.

A middle aged man with a shirt that said "I piss myself." It was on one of those trains where the seats face each other, and I had to look directly at him. Man, that was a long train ride.

You do know that their is black in the German flag? How can you know that there should be a German flag on that BLACK T-shirt?

Yeah that was a joke. Nike's advertising campaign is ubiquitous in the west, everyone knows "Just do it", so it's poking fun at the nonsensical nature of marketing in general.

A little girl with a t-shirt that read

 

When I grow up, I want to be a whore

 

What's the social etiquette here?

      Dare I point out what it means or leave them in blissful ignorance providing comic relief to stressed foreigners?
