    •  "Dude, where's my leg?"

       "I don't know, I just had it when I left the meat department." 

       "Sure, it's all fun and games until someone loses a leg."  

       "Would you like to see where I can put my stump?"

      "Lap rides- $1.50"

    •  Front side:  "I'm that one legged man in the @** kicking contest."

       

      Back side:  "And I'm winning"

      Oh, ROFL!  I like that one.  These are all pretty funny.

    • All of these are very funny. I can't think of any, but I like to come back and read these again. Oh, you know how you see those symbols for Males and Females on bathroom doors. You could make one for males and females, but with 1/2 of a leg missing. I don't know. Keep posting the funny stuff!

    • Always laugh when you can. It's cheaper than medicine.....

    •  Until I get my leg, I've been putting homemade bumper stickers on the back of my wheelchair.  I've got one now that says "I Brake For Stop Lights."  I think a lot of these would work as bumper stickers, too!  I may make one that says, "Don't laugh, I carry it in my lap, and I play baseball with it."  Of course, that may be a little subtle for folks who have never dealt with a prosthesis.  Then again, let them think about it...

    •  Guys, these are hysterical! I will start working on some designs this weekend! Some of these had me in stitches! I will probably lean more towards the designs that I can do a graphic element for rather than just a text element....also, I encourage you all to check out sites like Cafe Press and Zazzle, etc. as a place to make your OWN T-shirts, as there are obviously some great creative minds at work, here!!

      some t-shirts are "bad taste" slogans ... others (give them your finger ... and they'll take the whole hand) relate to my amputated hand

      all in all,i find these are omly of limited coolness. cool, but not indefinitely so... not always appropriate, in other words

    • Since I'm an amputee above the elbow I think that one that said, "I think I'll just wing it."

    • Very disappointing! This whole Disaboom site has turned into a big commercial for profit forum in my opinion. Now here is 2 people making T-Shirts. They get $2 for every T-Shirt sold yet they can't pay for ideas. Don't pay for ideas but donate something to a good non-profit organization that actually helps amputees. What is your amputation? Why are you here? Are you an amputee? No?! Then why are you splash posting in an amputee forum? You have nothing to offer here. The very owner of this site "J.W. Roth" has sent out a solicitation to Disaboom members to sell advertising for the site. He/she won't reply to my questions and concerns. Bogus! Out for a buck! Taking advantage of other people's misfortunes to make a buck! This is all my personal opinion of course. The original purpose for this site was for people with disabilities to have a place to meet and interact with like disabled folks. Yes that still happens only after you sift through the scams and commercials for profit and B.S. you can still find some real people with real intentions. Radical? Me? Nope, but I will make a stand for what I believe in. I hope somebody montitors these posts and get's word to J.W. that Crockett would like a word. As for "Hadley" here. Your post asking for T-Shirt ideas is a bold attempt. About as suttle as "send money" nothing in return except you will mention donors name. BIG DEAL! If you are not an amputee, and you print T's about amputees and profit from the sales and not one penny of the sales proceeds go to an amputee organization that truely helps amputees. I say B.S. and get lost! Sincerely, Crockett

    • Asking for "free" support in a financially tied up world is one thing, boldly exploiting ideas another. I am an amputee and it distresses me. Yet, I still possess my pitch black cynical humor and I still master graphical computer tools. So, I have my own CAFEPRESS shop, and if you missed that, it may be time for you to properly take offense right now. No one is forced or urged to buy anything and as a matter of fact I mainly run it so I can get my own stuff printed. There is not much money to be made with this as - believe it or not - wearing such slogans is temporary RELIEF for me - - - but only of very, very limited scope. There is not the slightest requirement for anyone to buy any of these and if you print your own stuff, even if you copy my ideas, I'm the very last person to have a problem with it. If you buy my shit it does help an amputee - me :-) :-) and so, thank you very much. There is no requirement whatsoever to wear tasteless, proud or cocky slogans so I do NOT understand why you see anyone "taking advantage". If you explain to me why anyone would be coerced, forced, pushed to buying such stuff, we can come to an understanding of your "exploit" idea - but until you have laid that down I entirely fail to see your point. - Wolf.

    • Crockett I am going to come right out and say what needs to be said. I think your comments are very bitter and selfish. If you have noticed money was tough for many people even before the price of gas started soaring. Though I am not disabled (I'll get back to that later in this post) I know there are often huge expenses that come with being disabled. Buying limbs and having them replaced and/or repaired, socks, special vehicles for some and many other issues. Should people give to organizations to help others, YES. Do you know that the 2 selling t-shirts are not giving something even if it is in their own neighborhood, NO. Even if they are not giving maybe they NEED the money for themselves. Maybe they only have a meager job. What do you know about them. I commend them for having the creativity and guts to take something that sends most people into despair and turning it into something positive. As far as J.W. Roth is concerned; It takes money and advertising to keep any business open. Just by you being able to post your negative you have already benefitted from the service he is providing although I would say not too many people benefitted from reading your post. To be continued...
