T-Shirts

As soon as summer began, a wave of new t-shirts appeared in Thimphu, Bhutan and in India with upbeat or humorous slogans. The most common is ‘Smile a lot, it costs nothing,’ but close behind that are ‘MBA: Master of Bad Activities’ and ‘I’m not totally useless. I can be used as a bad example.’

This morning I saw a 5 year old girl wearing one that says ‘Remember my name. You’ll be screaming it soon.’ Of course, the slogan can work just as well for a child, but I’m sure that’s not the way it was intended.

Nor was the one worn by a young boy that had ‘I’m up here’ written on his chest with an arrow pointing up.
