"Not My Type" t-shirt

I love this t-shirt that says "You're Not My Type" in 13 languages

But let's face it, the places I'd wear that shirt -- on a museum trip, at a science fiction -- "my type" of folks would quickly appear, bent over and staring at my chest to read all the lines.  So it would more or less need a skirt with "If you have read this far, the above does not apply," also in 13 languages.

Had to read it twice, actually, read it as "BAck off" the first time, wait, that's not an a... ;-)

It's an appropriate translation, isn't it?
It is. Heh.
I could tell at a glance that it wasn't a literal translation. *closer look* Oh, dear. *LAUGH* So not kidding about ASL being a more direct language.
My ex was dating a terp at one point - heck, it was RIT, which is connected to the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, so nearly everyone I know dated an ASL terp at one point or another - and we loved talking about him, the ex, in front of him using a combination of ASL & Girl.
