green t-shirts for St. Patrick’s day

Where: St. Patrick’s day party at Shawn’s house

OK, this is another poor innocent Terry story. Yesterday, I was invited to the Shawn’s St. Patrick’s day party. And, traditionally, people wear green color clothing on the St. Patrick’s day. But, I do not have any green color clothes. So, I decided to buy one this time. Suddenly, I realized that there is a store on Walnut St where I saw bunch of interesting t-shirts. Most of them have very funny phrases with drawings. Going into the store, I found a few green t-shirts and one of them has a sentence, “Things I can put into my nose! dime, chalk…… ” with nose drawing. Wanting to buy it, I asked them medium size  but they did not have in stock. Well, there is another one I did not really like but they did have a medium size in stock. So, I bought it. While I am paying the money, the male clerk in the store told me, “It is very funny shirts, isn’t it?” And, I am like, “What? Not really, dude? I think the other one is really funny.”

Now, time for party!! Yay!! So, I went to Shawn’s house, looking forward to Guinness ice cream. There were some people, some of them are also my friends and some of them are I did not know before. I was wearing jacket on top of the t-shirts. So none of them were able to see the drawing and the phrase on my shirts. But, as more people coming into the house, it got hotter so that I took my jacket off. As soon as I took it off and turned around, all of the people started laughing. I had no idea what is going on. “What? What is wrong? Why are you laughing?” “What? You do not know why?”, they asked me. “I do not know, guys! What is it?” It was because………. on my t-shirts, there was a Nintendo drawing but also, at the bottom of the drawing, there was a phrase. It says “blow me!”

Then, they started to explain about “blow job” and also sometimes, people say “blow me!” as it is when someone says bad thing to you. It is pretty similar to “f..k you!” Now, I realized why that guy at the store told me that the shirts is funny. Sigh…!!!!

I would not explain to you about “blow job” here but you can easily find out what it means through the Internet.

So, once again, poor innocent Terry, made a big impression to all of friends there. I guess they would never forget me.

The big lesson here is “Do not buy t-shirts if you do not know what the phrase on the shirts means!! Never, ever!!”

PS: Shawn, I need Guinness ice cream! I will wait for the next year’s party.
