“I’M SO BROKE I CAN’T EVEN PAY ATTENTION” (June 29, 2014)

Thus a sign on a T-shirt that Hrvoje Bielen had spotted yesterday on the island of Šolta in the Adriatic, where he is spending his vacations. This morning I found an electronic-mail message from him. “The sign immediately reminded me of you,” he wrote, “for you often report what you spot on T-shirts.” I thanked him. The sign is just to my liking, and I would surely have reported it had I spotted it myself.
