Funny shirt, for all your commies out there.

This reminds me of a very amusing experience I had in a t-shirt store in Hong Kong, somewhere in the Wan Chai area. I was poking around with cyantist looking for good engrish shirts. I came across the stereotypical Mao shirt, which I promptly decided was going to have to join the rattle "spring ironic fashion collection". What made it so amusing, is that they refused sell it to me. Conversation went something like this: "Mao shirt." "No, Mao shirt." "Mao shirt here, 10 Hong Kong Dollar?" "No, Mao shirt." "20 Hong Kong Dollar?" "No Mao shirt." "Why not?" "Mao shirt." "100 Hong Kong Dollar!" (double the price of anything in the store, waving bill) "No Mao shirt!" (waving hands motioning me out of store.) As I was walking out of the store, with a confused cyantist, I think I said something along the lines of "so much for free trade".
