MEANWHILE: The thin line dividing wit from stupidity
If somewhere an invisibility cloak did exist, you will find it shrouding the thin line dividing wit from stupidity.
There is a lot one can do with T-shirt messages: express your political affiliation, offer tributes to a musician or crack a joke.
If you mess up though, the joke is most likely to be on you.

Of late, there has been a surfeit of weird T-shirt messages that are believed to give their wearers a touch of spunk and nonchalance.
But the way they abuse humour is all but funny.
This week, I spotted someone with this message: "Just got paid. Now let's get laid."
Over two to three months I have seen at least four people walking around with T-shirts proclaiming they are "Single*"; follow the asterisk and you will find a 'waist-note' that goes "Now with experience."
Just the other day at a mall, I spotted a young girl of no more than 11 or 12 wearing a T-shirt that read: "Do you think looking so good is easy? No baby!"
Say what?
Last year, Amazon was forced to pull from its catalogue T-shirts emblazoned with such offensive messages as "Keep calm and rape a lot" and "Keep calm and knife her."
The messages had some people placing orders, most of which were cancelled as soon as the line blew up into an international controversy.
