I'd put on a T-shirt "I love Bush" just to see who I piss off the most, the Democrat supporters or the feminists

Re: What would you put on yours?
I don't know your friends who moved to England.
(Front)..No, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving...(back)...or 4th of July.
The language is English, so you're spelling it wrong.

And, yes, I know my accent is cute.
