Lots of T-shirt stores in my neighborhood. On St Marks place ... Lots with F*ck. and other rude phrases.. being considerd for purchase by some very conservative looking tourist from foreign lands.

Also for sale are shirts with Chinese characters on them - I'm guessing at least some of those have similar meanings to the tattoos

That sort of thing is quite common around the world. In 1976 when I spent the summer 
working in France I was amazed at the number of t-shirts which paired apparently random 
words with 'Team'. In India a few years ago I saw one inscribed "Love is fast, life 
a vest", which has always struck me as deeply profound in an oriental wisdom sort of 
way. Or do I mean Norman Wisdom?

Anyway, I wonder how many English-only people with foreign language tattoos 
realise that they all say 'dickhead'.

For those like Ann and I why love unusual signs, the t-shirt slogans
are inexplicable and unintentionally funny.
