It Makes Me Wonder

Because I occasionally buy guitar supplies online, I end up seeing online advertising for gaudy t-shirts that are a variation on the theme “I’m cool because I play guitar.” My friends and family already know I play guitar. And they know I’m not cool. So who is this t-shirt message for? If I walk into the grocery store wearing that t-shirt is somebody going to say “Look Honey, his t-shirt says he’s cool because he plays guitar. Let’s get his autograph.” I doubt it. And it would be really weird if they did.

Then I started thinking, I wonder if people who buy axes online start seeing ads for t-shirts that at say “I’m cool because I split logs.” Probably.
