In another thread a member drew a parallel between learning to get off the block at the sound of the start horn, and Pavlov 's dogs salivating at the sound of a bell. That reminded me of my favorite tee from my college days. On the front: Does the name Pavlov ring a bell? On the back: No, but it makes me drool!
So, that thought led me to thinking about all the cute tee shirts I've seen kids wearing at meets and was wondering what your favorite swim tee shirt saying is?
At the last meet I timed there was a young woman there who was truely very fast. Her tee said, "Don't think of it as losing, think of it as being beaten by a girl!"

It was a comical picture of sperm racing to an unfertilized egg and the caption was something like:
"First place is the only place that matters"
I'm sure I have it wrong, but maybe someone who has seen one can make the correction.
not sure if we're talking about the same shirt, but i saw one this past weekend at the chesapeake bay swim that had a whole fleet of sperm racing, with a caption something like "it doesn't matter who's first off the block. it's the first one to the finish that matters."
either way, both funny (if not rather un-pc!) shirts...
:)
