I remember running across a shirt for sale in Japan that said:

  Free is free
  Shit is shit
  Damn

I don't know what it was about that particular sequence of words but man if it didn't get me something good.

That definitely deserves proverb status!

Around the same time I was collecting those ghost proverbs, I spent a pleasant afternoon in Shinjuku, Tokyo, taking pictures of T-shirts:

One of the things I'm looking forward to most is traveling to Japan, and maybe other parts of eastern Asia, and collecting a ridiculous amount of nonsensical t-shirts to ship back home.
