Product 38/42
With all the upheavals that have been visited upon the Russian economy, we would not be surprised if the sentiment expressed on this shirt was close to the truth for some of the people in that nation. In Russian, it says something closely equivalent to "Will build thermonuclear devices for food." (It's actually more like "I will build a thermonuclear device for a slice of bread.") It takes a rather strange sense of humor to appreciate this type of thing, which may account for the reason why most of our friends think it's hilarious.
A cultural note: We've been informed that the slogan on this shirt is only humorous to those who are familiar with the US phenomenon of the "homeless person" holding a sign that says "Will work for food". There apparently is no corresponding custom in Russia...but for those here in the US, the reference and implication is obvious.
All WLP shirts are 100% pre-shrunk cotton. Shirts are screen-printed in the USA.
