Inspired by a Tweet from the New Yorker

“Haruki Murakami bought a Ramones shirt from a secondhand store in Kyoto, but he can’t bring himself to wear it outside. “There are some limits when you’re over 70,” he writes.”

He also owns a T shirt from Heinz that says “I put ketchup on my ketchup”

I don’t recognise more limits on what I wear now that I’m over 70

Most of these have a story behind them, but one I did not photograph – because it is plain white – isn’t mine. It was one my son left behind after a visit when Air Canada lost his bag and gave him a tee shirt and other overnight essentials. Then they found the bag, and none of essentials were used or returned.

There are lots of pictures of the cruise on Flickr

The back of the shirt above lists the sponsors, most of whom are still in business.

Aug 14, 2018 Durango Brewing Co. abruptly closed its taproom in Durango

I don’t have one for the University of Nottingham (HINT!)

Though I think it is worth noting here that while I admire the long and gloried history of the Irish brewer’s advertising campaigns, there are a lot more and better stouts these days.
