$700?! Surely, you can’t be serious.
I am serious and don’t call me Shirley. Firstly, this t-shirt is extremely rare. Second, this movie shaped comedy and my own sense of humor. When I first saw it, I didn’t fully get the satire and I idolized Ted Striker. Since 1980 I’ve seen it at least 50 times and it gets funnier, every time I see it! I also have an inflatable Otto toy and think the sequel is stellar.
