I've devoloped a weird habit in Japan - reading t-shirts. You can find the funniest things on t-shirts in Japan. Actually it's not just t-shirts - bags, pencil cases, sweatshirts, even things like tissue boxes all have the oddest English you've ever seen on them. Take yesterday for instance, my friend emailed me and told me about a t-shirt she'd seen on one of her student's mothers.
It said 'daddy was a street corner' - I mean, what's that all about? Unfortunately, she couldn't get a photo cos' taking photos of your student's mothers chests is not really allowed.
Sometimes you can't argue with the philosophy though. This is one of my favourites!

Hi,
I totally agree about the weird english - when I was in Japan I heard a song playing in a shop about motherfuckers - now you coudln't get away with that in UK!
They like weird english on tshirts in France too!
