Nice theory about the Calling :-) Now you mention it, I wonder if I would be more willing to wear some of my old decorated T-shirts if I were to go back there – on the grounds that if I wasn't gothing up properly like I could never be bothered to do anyway, it would at least constitute making more of an effort clothes-wise than turning up in black jeans and T-shirt...

It hadn't occurred to me to think of funny T-shirts as subtitles for my spoken wit :-) (Though, if so, they'd have to be subtitles of the sort that give up on a totally untranslatable pun and try to retain the spirit of the line by writing a completely different pun in the target language...)
