Made up Novelty T-Shirts in Contemporary Romance

So, lately I've been noticing some authors having fun creating funny t-shirts for their characters. Kristin Higgins does it constantly, however her "Grey's Anatomy" inspired slogans go over my head (not a fan) but I can tell they aren't that funny anyway. Rachel Gibson however, made me laugh out loud in "Tangled up in You" when a big tough bartender sports two hilarious shirts:

"ATTENTION LADIES: I LIKED THE NOTEBOOK" and
"EVERYONE HATES VEGETARIANS."

Both great in my opinion. Then there is my current favorite from Patricia Gaffney's "The Goodbye Summer" which spends much of it's time in a nursing home, one of the characters wears an
"OH! I FORGOT TO HAVE CHILDREN!" t-shirt.
Can't wait til I'm menopausal so I can wear that one!!
