So the other day in Washington, D.C., at the National Museum of American History, I run into (not literally) a guy wearing the t-shirt at left, which (if you cannot read it) says: "I am the man from Nantucket."
And I am pretty sure the t-shirt was not referring to the version of the limerick that appeared in the Princeton Tiger in 1902.
Of course being well-versed in limericks, I did a bit of a double-take when I saw the t-shirt -- especially as the man wearing it looked NOTHING like the model above but was rather paunchy, with thinning hair, in his mid-50s, and was with his wife and kids. (At least they looked like they were together.)
Which leads me to the title of today's post: What kind of guy wears a t-shirt that says "I am the man from Nantucket"? Also, what woman would allow her husband to go to a family museum wearing a t-shirt that says "I am the man from Nantucket"?
[Note: Keep those comments clean, people. Especially you, JB.]

I don't know, it beats the families that dress in the exact same outfit* and stand to the left on the Metro escalators.
Was the Bishop of Birmingham in attendance as well?
*with the invisible lettering "Please mug me"
You know, he could have been from Nantucket. People (me-for several years) do live there. FOR REALS!!
Three types of men:
1. Those inordinantly proud of their equipment.
2. Those extremely sensitive about the their equipment.
3. Men from Nantucket.
@jjv: LOL. Thank you.
