At the register, the register operator called over the front end
manager. She whispered something in his ear. Hmm, thinks I, have I
overstepped the limit on my credit card (no, its paid off monthly)?
Has their Xray scanner sensed the box opener in my pocket? Do they
think my bottle of water is an explosive?
I was wearing a nice t-shirt that has a royal coachman embroidered into
it, with the words "Bite Me" over the top.
The manager asked me "not to wear that t-shirt into their store again.
Some may consider it offensive."
I was gobsmacked. Speechless. I nodded assent and left.
Only on the way home did the clever rejoinders come to mind. I think I
wear it in there tomorrow. Any ideas?

FWIW - 22 people have voted. Only 1 has voted that the Bite Me shirt is
'maybe' offensive. Nobody has said: "Yes, it is offensive".
