No. I suppose I should be crediting the author(s), if it was possible.

I 'stole' it from an aluminum sign for sale at walmart. My sense of
humour is a very dry one, so I'm told, and, I found it funny as all
hell.


Wowbagger is a character in one of Douglas Adams' series - I forget
whether it was The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, or the Dirk Gently
series - who is condemned to travel the universe (including temporally),
insulting every being who has ever lived, in alphabetical order. (Ah, it
was THHGTTG, because I remember him insulting Arthur Dent.) The above
quote sounded very like him - might even be.

I recently purchased one of the humour tshirts infact. "Despite the
look on my face, you're still talking..." [g]

G indeed! I just wish more T-shirts had chest pockets (without which I
am lost), since so many of them do appeal to my sense of humour, but so
few have such a pocket. (An exception being part of a pajama/mightwear
set sold by one of our budget stores recently - which is the one case
where I _don't_ need the pocket!)
