Traveling abroad? Do I have the shirt for you. All you do is point to one of the universally recognizable symbols (phone, restroom, airport, etc.), then point at the question mark, and that should be enough for a native to figure out what you’re after. Okay, so this isn’t exactly business casual — it’s more like bar casual — but you could always wear it underneath a dress shirt. Then, when you need help, just rip it open, Superman-style, and commence pointing. Seriously, it’s perfect for when you travel to places where you don’t speak the language. The oh-so-clever Traveler’s Phrase Book T-Shirt sells for $28.41 U.S. [via tcritic.com]
