Jesus! Yes That Is My Final Answer.
Who knew that such an innocuous purchase of early 2000 memorabilia could be taken with so much offense. I have a T-Shirt that I bought in high school at the Rehobeth boardwalk that posts in grand letters, JESUS. Yes that is my final answer. Needless to say if I get hollers, hoots, exclamations and excitement wearing this shirt in the US of A, one can only imagine the reaction I would get wearing this shirt in the world's largest catholic country. The joke is lost on the majority of the people here, they don't have Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, and I don't know where they would find the equivalent of a Brazilian Regis Philbin. During my dance class tonight nearly every woman I danced with wondered if I was from the Church, many assumed I was Mormon, as a majority of the non-miscreant gringos evade Rio and the Sultry Northeast to make an attempt at the salvation of the Southerners of this great land. I think they've given up on the lost souls of this nation. Upon reflecting, this is one of the oldest pieces of my wardrobe and has held up not only in durability and resiliency but also in comedic value, as in every passing year the joke becomes more ironically outdated and hipster-worthy.
