Wash cold. No bleach. Hand dry. Save the rats. Any questions?

Doesn't it say something more - like Do Not Copy Design too, above Save the Rats? And NYC in the lining aropund the neck. I bet this is like in Cinderella - the rats (mice) actually made this shirt in their little factories, and sneaked in this label before anyone could notice.

Honestly, this is just weird. There certainly aren't any cause for saving rats, if it had been tigers or orchids then I would have understood. If it is a misspelling, then what did they mean? Bats?

It says "do not iron design". The t-shirt has a print of, surprise, a rat on it.

"I bet this is like in Cinderella - the rats (mice) actually made this shirt in their little factories, and sneaked in this label before anyone could notice."

You mean like this, seen on a ipod shuffle? ;)

Ha, trapped in iPod factory! REminds me of the librarian that the last week on the job printed out lots of little labels saying "XX was here" with his name, and then went around in the stacks and randomly inserted them in books. I bet they will find those little notes for centuries to come!

And the labels he put in the last chapters of Joyce's "Ulysses" and Proust's "In search of lost time" will never be found at all... ;)

I think Ulysses and Proust will at least be opened and looked into because they are so famous, but an old dissertation about worms in pears in a valley in Switzerland in the 1880s has less of a chance to be found. I tried to read Proust and gave up, but it is a favorite with lots of people. I can't deal with sentences that run half a page.

That's my point. Even though Joyce's and Proust's magnum opuses are famous, I doubt many readers ever finishes them. I gave up on "Ulysses", and have just flipped through "In search of lost time" before deciding it wasn't worthwhile.
