You are what you wear (part 2)

I'm genuinely not being patronising here - I'm trying to learn Mandarin and I know that speaking another language is hard - but some of these tee-shirts are just bizarre.  I'm flying back to the UK tonight but before I go, here's a selection of the best I've seen:


Bluebell for figs
(an admirable sentiment - who doesn't like bluebells and why shouldn't figs have some, too?)


Disco twinkle
(points off for making sense, extra points for being, well, charming)


Directlys noise
(I don't... I... What?)


Packer - fanky fresh
(What a difference a vowel makes - haven't we all wanted to be fanky fresh at some point?)


His fashion does and
(and? And? Give me closure here)


Beans
(that's all it said. Big letters, across the chest. Is it a brand? Is it the wearer's name? Is it a tribute to the musical fruit? Who knows - probably not even the woman wearing the shirt. )


Baby dream ever
(even though it makes no sense, extra credit for being white letters on pink background and for being worn by someone extremely cute. Kawaii!)


And finally, my favourite:
Speed crooks access and sevens
(this is clearly some kind of William Burroughs cut-up experiment gone horribly wrong and wins purely because I can't make head or tails of it, no matter how hard I try.)


I'll leave you with a picture; this may be a foreign language - I'm not sure it's English...
