DEFINITELY NOT A SOFT DRINK (AKA, HOW LOGO CAN YOU GO-GO)

If I can briefly interject with an item from the "Oh, By The Way . . ." files, I saw perhaps the strangest t-shirt ever the other day.

I'm sure we've all seen (way too many) t-shirts that riff on the "Enjoy Coke" logo & phrasing. The Coke icon is . . . well, iconic. And the "Enjoy . . ." campaign is at least as old as I am.

(Which ain't young.)

I've seen "Enjoy Cocaine," and many others that don't spring to mind. But a couple days ago, right in front of my office in midtown Manhattan, I saw a new one. Walking with two teenage girls was a young guy, probably about 18. A "normal" looking tourist, strolling about Manhattan in all his corn-fed, blond-haired glory. Basically, a kid just like the other 34,000,000 frat boys wearing t-shirts throughout our great land this summer.

Except this one wore a t-shirt that read, "Enjoy My Large Cock."

I was too shocked to laugh. I'm laughing now -- cause it's fucking funny. But at that moment, my mouth was agape so wide . . . well, in theory at least.
