I actually forgot to mention this, such is my life full of excess! I get caught up in 1000 different things and then I forget to do little things like this.

But I just saw this T-shirt in the cupboard now and it’s quite interesting. I think we got it for about R120, after getting 65% off. I can’ remember the exact price, because I put the slip in the braai. Anyway, it’s a good price for a quality shirt. You might care to take a little look at this bad boy:

What a tease

You will notice that there is a “Stripper” on the shirt. There is also a little star covering her box. Which is strange considering there is a bit of nipple showing. How rude! The writing says “Campeonato del Mundo de Striptease” Which is obviously Hispanic and translates to “This striptease shirt does not come with a happy ending”

However, the shop assistants at Miss Sixty & Energie are not fluent in Hispanic like I am, so it’s a good laugh to play around with them. You know the usual shop assistant thing. You are chilling, checking out a t-shirt, and they walk up to you:

“Can I help you, your holiness?” Is the most common line used on me.

“Yes punk, what does this mean?” I then point to the writing on this striptease shirt.

“Uhhh…I have no idea” They murmur.

“I will tell you what it means” I say with a wide eyed grin(No, my grin does not have eyes, but you get the point)

“It means, in Hispanic, that this t-shirt comes with a happy ending” I say with a twinkle in my eyes. “So does it, punk?”

They then get a little nervous laugh, and I keep staring at them, with eyes like ice. They then get nervous when I ask, after buying the shirt, if I will be seeing them in the changing rooms in 5 minutes. At this point I am scolded by the co-anchor. I leave shouting “I want my happy ending!” This makes them freak out and the next week they have resigned and are working at Fabiani.

It’s also a novel concept, having a stripper ON you at all times. When your folks call, you can tell them that you will chat later and you are just busy at the moment because there is a stripper with her box on your chest right as you speak. This will probably warrant your dad asking “Well hook a father up, where are you son?”

Anyway, enough of that, get down to the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, where things are going for as much as 65% off. Granted there are some t-shirts there that cost R1200 in the first place, but we want to live excessively don’t we? Yes we do. Just do it. Do it. Gin and tonic. Do it.
