After the post regarding the 10 facts and muses about t-shirts last Friday, we have been getting curious responses regarding the T-SHORTS© and everything else related to it. In tribute to this wonderful new phenomenon, we have decided to dedicate today’s article to explain the power of T-SHORTS© and its life changing benefits….

***********************

WHAT ARE T-SHORTS©?
T-SHORTS© are basically t-shirts, which have been carefully inverted and caringly modified to cover the bottom half of the body as a last resort to avoid giving a free show at any given time and end up being a disgrace to one’s family at any point in one’s life.

WHY WOULD ANYONE (NEVER MIND ME!) NEED T-SHORTS©?
Remember, desperation is the mother of all invention. What if, one day, you went hiking and after setting up tent, suddenly looked into your bag and found: NO SHORTS???? OR, what about when one day, you go to your cupboard and realize all your shorts have been sent for washing?? The solution that we offer does not require a shameful call back home to mom and doesn’t require any additional purchases. Presenting: T-SHORTS©, the power to change your life!

HAH! YOUR CONCEPT IS FLAWED BECAUSE THERE IS A BIG HOLE RIGHT WHERE THE SUN AIN’T SUPPOSED TO SHINE! NYEH NYEH NYEH….
That’s where you are mistaken friends. That big gaping hole that used to be the head opening is the all new T-SHORTS QUICK-RELEASE© mechanism! Imagine, you need to relieve yourself and rush to the toilet… you fumble at the belt buckle, your zip gets stuck, and before you know it, you’ve totally disgraced yourself. Now, with the T-SHORTS QUICK-RELEASE©, you just quietly close the door, and let it all go without any worry. NO zippers, NO belts, NO mishaps.

HOW DO I MAKE MY OWN T-SHORTS©?
With our all new T-SHORTS© MAKERS’ MANUAL© (available for free only for the next 30 days), it’s as easy as 1-2-3!

1. UNDERSTANDING T-SHORTS©. What was previously sleeves are leg openings, the head opening is now the all new T-SHORTS QUICK-RELEASE©, and the body opening is now your T-SHORTS ADJUSTABLE WAIST WRAP©.

2. WEAR YOUR T-SHORTS©. You need to ensure that you are able to pull your T-SHORTS ADJUSTABLE WAIST WRAP© to a comfortable height. It would be wise to note that baby-ts that ladies love to wear make absolutely horrible T-SHORTS©. Ensure that the T-SHORTS ADJUSTABLE WAIST WRAP© is securely tied around your waist (to avoid disgracing yourself and your family) with the world famous sarong fold method

3. BE PROUD OF YOUR T-SHORTS©. Now ain’t that a beauty? Understand that you are one of the elite few who understand the importance of having the highly powerful, secret knowledge of the T-SHORTS©. With great power comes great responsibility, so spread the knowledge of T-SHORTS© wisely. You cannot imagine what could happen if this knowledge fell into the wrong hands…..

Here’s something to kick start your weekend. If you have other musings or facts that you’d like to add, put them in the comment section (not the chatbox this time because the chatbox doesn’t archive)… who knows, we could have a part 2! =)

1. One of the definitions of t-shirt in the dictionary reads: “a lightweight, usually knitted, pullover shirt, close-fitting and with a round neckline and short sleeves, worn as an undershirt or outer garment”. I dunno about you, but my t-shirts definitely don’t fit too close to me fats… there’s just something nauseating about it….eeeeeeewwwwwwwwww

2. If Americans had it their way, they’d probably tell you they created the universe (just teasing… heheh). However, the idea that Americans invented t-shirts may not be entirely true. Although they definitely innovated it and publicized it, it can be said that t-shirts in its original form was as a light cotton UNDERSHIRT that was used by the European soldiers during WW1 while the americanos were busy sweating in their woolen uniforms… and then they got jealous….

3. The term T-shirt was coined from the fact that the shape of the T-shirt looks like the letter M…… of course it’s the letter T!!

4. There is another prevalent school of thought that says that the origins of the name t-shirts was coined by the American soldiers (again???) who called it Training-shirts… which popularly became known as …… (no prizes for getting this right)

a. training-s
b. shirts-that-look-like-the-letter-T
c. shirt-T
d. none of the above of course (it’s called overgarments ya’ll! Word!)

5. How come grandfathers always love to scold kids and teenagers that t-shirts are not presentable enough, and yet they get to walk all over the neighbourhood and drive to the local pasar (market) in their pagoda singlets???

6. Why can’t babies fit into baby-ts??

7. T-shirts do not pollute the earth. Once a t-shirt can’t be worn any longer, they can be reincarnated as rags! They’re good quality 100% cotton too!

8. How come t-shirts can be used as headgear, but headgear can’t be used as t-shirts?

9. Desperate situations call for desperate solutions… presenting: the t-shorts

10. We’ve got T-shirts but no A-pants??? What, pants don’t look A enough for them???

We had a lot of fun doing this, and we’re waiting to hear from you too! Happy weekend folks!
