1. The Beatles T-shirt
2. Lemmings T-shirt
3. Hippie T-shirt that says “Don’t trust any hippies who don’t carry an ax”
4. Homer’s T-shirt that says “Homicide is bad”
5. Homer’s T-shirt that says “Don’t do crimes, kids”
6. Buster Keaton T-shirt
7. Nietzsche’s T-shirt
8. Lemmings T-shirt with a picture of Lemmings on it, captioned “Sapient beings who do not have any concept of time are of lower status than humans”
9. Jaws T-shirt saying “Jaws are an accurate depiction of a shark”

I feel like at least one of these is self-explanatory by virtue of being a quote from a classic novel

like this?

I just want to clarify that I have seen all of these t-shirts in stores, and they were all not at all self-explanatory

made more of the shirts

My advice is that it’s way better to just go with the flow (if you haven’t done so already) and say nothing at all, than to be all “I messed with your emotional state to affect whether I told you a story” and then have them go on to talk about the negative stuff afterwards

(Don’t even go there if you can help it – you didn’t choose the questions, and there’s no way to tell what the other person is going to say by studying your responses beforehand)
