A friend of mine sent me this T shirt unexpectedly and I walked around the office here at work asking folks what the heck it was supposed to mean..:thinking:

No one knew:wah:

Then I read the note that tells me it is straight from the coast of Amalfi . I figure it must be the favored transportation method there? But none of the googling I'm doing is showing me that.

any ideas?

The would be ideal for me.

I also use a very similar one as the background image for my latest SATB arrangement MP4 (whenever I prepare a file for uploading to YouTube I make a Video, using clipart & animated text).

No, but since they got it for me while they were there, the only thing I could figure was that scooters were the main form of travel in that area.

It was British propaganda poster from WW2 originally "Keep calm and carry on " but it has had many variations recently on Tee shirts and tea mugs and the 'carry on' part is altered to suit HERE and HERE

Nope, not from the NRA.

Besides, I believe you are over-thinking it a little.

It would have been more effective, yes.
