Telling it like it is..

(Slogans, Funny Phrases and Philosophy)

Everyone is a wit, or knows someone who is.

And if you aren't a wit maybe you just have a philosphy that's waiting to change the world. The button badge and its cousin the fridge magnets are the ideal noticeboard on which to make known your theory about the meaning of life, get things off your chest or make the great announcement.

Just about says it all, really. And then of course there's the accompanying:

I used to be apathetic...but now I don't really care

As you can see, there's a slogan for just about anything - with a big dose of humour in case anyone takes it all too seriously. And we haven't even scratched the surface yet.
