Area man receives novelty T-Shirt for birthday

VANCOUVER, BC. A local 44-year old man, known only as "Daz", has received a novelty T-shirt with his own picture on it as a birthday gift last Thursday. At a celebratory mid-week dinner, the green cotton-polyester shirt, which depicts Daz guzzling beer out of a pitcher, was presented to him. "I'm never going to [take this off]," said Daz, holding up the machine-washable T-Shirt for the table to see. He was later photographed guzzling a pint of pale ale while the T-shirt was being held up beside him, thereby creating a surreal picture within a picture (right).
One unnamed source close to the party said, "If I can get hold of that picture within a picture I have an idea for his next birthday gift shirt." Another source added, "Yeah, that way when I'm desperate to think of a last minute gift because I forgot his birthday I'll have something to fall back on, to go with the card I'm going to buy him next year on my way to the party and sign in the car outside the restaurant."
At the "informal, last minute" birthday dinner, one guest, who for anonymity's sake shall be referred to as Masako S.... no, wait, that's too obvious. Let's call her "M. Saito". Anyway, she brought a gift, but also proudly showed the group the underwear she had purchased for her husband, who was at home looking after their three young children.

P.F.
