T with pictures

It was a typical Sydney summer day. It was sunny, everyone was going to the beach to get burned. Men were wearing flamboyant beach shorts, sunnies either on their nose or their head depend on their sense of fashion. Some with dog(s), some with kid(s). Women with bikinis, big Paris Hilton sun glasses, tanned and proud. And everyone was wearing their favorite T (except, of course, these hotties with bikini and these hairy animals with ...hairs on their chest ... you know what i am talking about right?)

I was there, as any average Aussie male. T, sunnies, shorts and thong. I went for a beach walk from Coogee to Bondi and was enjoying it. Then I noticed there were looking at me ... from females. And ... were they the nastiest looks I have ever got. Hi ladies, what've I done to deserve this? I was puzzled then realized ... they gave me this nasty look because I was, as a very curious guy, looking at their T shirts. You know this kind of T shirts. They are supposed to be artistic, others are supposed to to alternative (or cool). Some have abstract art work printed on it, some have cute pictures and some have words printed on them. But ... that is not the problem. This problem is .... they print these bloody things on this particular place of the T shirt that is under the neck and just above the belly, where, dare I say, the most beautiful pcs of female body part reside.

So, hold on a moment, my dear ladies. As much as I love this particular part of the female body I am not of the perversive kind. What I was looking at are these art works on your T shirt, abstract or alternative. and the words written on them too. The damn thing is that you need a really really sharp eye and a very very fast braind to make sense of those things without looking at them for too long. And me for one possess neither. I need to put my eyes on them for at least half a minitue to actually make out what the hell the supposed artistic or alternative art was all about. As a non native English speaker, it would take me twice as long to understand the words. The worst thing is they put word games on T shirts, in this case, I need to read them again and again and again to get them. And being such a curious guy, I can hardly resist the temptation, not of the flesh but of the things on T shirts.

So, T shirt designers and manufactures. Listen up. If you really really want to put art work on T shirts, please put them on a different place where one can look at them as long as they want without offending people. AND ... never put more than 4 words on T shirts... ever.

Meanwhile, next time I go to a beach, I will make sure I wear a pair of very thick sun glasses. This may help a bit .. ;-)
