Once in awhile it is good to laugh at ourselves and not take everything so serious. Here are some t-shirt sayings that for the most part should not be taken seriously.

I’ve seen several cute and some humorous t-shirts, note books, baseball caps, tote bags and so forth. It is nice to see faces that were previously frowning break into a grin while reading one, so I have brought together some of the many clever and some of the ridiculous sayings I have found. I hope you will enjoy them, and feel free to add some you have heard as well, but please refrain from those that contain language we would not want our children to read. Thank you.

Finding this picture in a message I received from my brother in law made me realize that the t-shirt industry as well as many others has made a killing off our desire for humor.

Messages can also contain some wisdom hidden in the humor, as this message which advises us to not drink while driving.

    I’ve said for years that alot of people take a stupid pill before they get behind the wheel of their cars…

    Nick, you would be the expert on that one. I’ve seen a few dingy individuals behind wheels, but I only drive a fraction of what you do.
