It is not unusual to pass a stranger wearing a shirt with some type of funny slogan, picture, or catchphrase. Funny t-shirts are everywhere. One would have to wonder if the individual just loved the shirt, or actually wants passers-by to stop and take a look. But wouldn't it be wrong to stop and stare at someone's chest for the amount of time required to process the humor?
People can express their individuality in a variety of ways: a political-themed bumper sticker on their car, an outrageous purple mohawk, tattoos, or body piercings, to name a few. A little less extreme, but still unique way to do this is with a funny t-shirt. Any type of message can be seen: "My parents went to the Bahamas and all I got was this lousy t-shirt;" "This is my drinking shirt;" "If you can read this, you're too close." Is it a ploy to garner extra attention, or simply a means of expressing a sense of humor that might not otherwise be perceived by a chance meeting with a cashier at the market? Or is it something else? Perhaps an underground movement, one that is simply defying conformity. "We aren't going to wear a plain old boring pocket tee."
In the meantime, we will all keep crossing paths with the wearers of these funny t-shirts, and wondering if they notice that our eyes linger just a little longer, trying to catch a glimpse of the message that is sure to leave us smiling as we walk away. Funny tshirts are an excellent way to stand out without offending someone. Just don't wear something that's too over the top or else people will think you're just being excessive. You want to stand out, but you don't want to stand out too much. A funny t shirt is a good middle road.
