At least I think it's funny...

My nephew, who is in his early 20s is an apprentice tradesman working on a large commercial construction site with his father (my brother). Like most young bucks, he is better known for balls than brains LOl.
Anyhow, one of the other workers discovered a brown bat clinging to a piece of scrap plywood one morning. For some reason, my nephew thought it needed help getting in the air so he picked it up after being told not to and....CHOMP...bat bit LOL
Anyways, a series of rabies shots later and the lesson is learned...but the story is not over

Knowing that I do a bit of t shirt design on the side, his father commissioned a little gift for him
[Linked Image]

I hope he likes it


Just happy to be here.

Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

I'm really happy that he let it go instead of eating it undercooked, or we could all be wearing those dreaded masks..

When I was a kid growing up in NE Montana we'd sit out on the porch at night and watch the bats flying we had mosquitoes that would pack you off if they got a chance but I never wanted to pick one up .
I'm glad he's doing better now and nice T shirt !

Bats are one of those things pure instinct should tell you not to pick up bare handed. smile

great shirt

maybe some others could use a shirt

" I learn lessons the HARD painful way"

the graphic could be of stitches or first aid supplies strewn about.

or for trapping a picture of a hand in a 330

Mike Traps2,
I actually did that shirt as a 1 off, so if that's the one you are interested in I am pretty sure I can pull it back up from the archives... but not 100%. I have had designs disappear off the site before and was never able to recover them.
I offer a few trapping related tshirts via Teespring (link to my online store below)

Slydog X T shirts

It is something I do for a bit of fun once in a while.


Just happy to be here.
