I am the man from Nantucket

I saw this t-shirt, "I am the man from Nantucket" yesterday in a shop in downtown Nantucket.

Should I buy it?

What will people think if I wear it?

Would you buy it?

Would you wear it?

I'm going home on Sunday, so we have a few days to make a decision.

What someone thinks of the man from Nantucket is a judgement of the person reacting to the shirt rather then the shirt wearer. If the person reading the shirt is of the historically learned sort, they will recall this rendering of the man from Nantucket;

Quote:
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

But he followed the pair to Pawtucket,
The man and the girl with the bucket;
And he said to the man,
He was welcome to Nan,
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.

Then the pair followed Pa to Manhasset,
Where he still held the cash as an asset,
But Nan and the man
Stole the money and ran,
And as for the bucket, Manhasset.

Of this story we hear from Nantucket,
About the mysterious loss of a bucket,
We are sorry for Nan,
As well as the man—
The cash and the bucket, Pawtucket.
If the reader of the shirt is more of a sleazeball type, they may relate the man from Nantucket to this gifted gentleman;
Quote:
There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose (bleep) was so long he could suck it.
And he said with a grin
As he wiped off his chin,
"If my ear were a (bleep), I would (bleep) it."

Regretfully, I am of the latter group of tee-shirt readers.

There once was a man from Nantucket
His D*** was so long he could suck it.
To stay out of trouble
he bent it over double
and instead of comming he went.

To celebrate the recent birth of our fourth child, my cousin bought me a T-shirt. It has a drawing of some sperm and says "My Boys Can Swim." I love it, but I don't know when I could wear it appropriately.

I would of, and did wear such shirts, when I was younger. I had one on of not so good taste at a soft ball game. A guy walked up to me and asked why I would wear such a thing. Told him I didn't care what he thought.

I also had a black ball cap with a pink kitty cat embroidered on it. I called it my pink ?????? hat. Some kid (late teen age) at the mall was looking hard at it and I asked if he had ever seen a pink pussy on a hat before.
