Default Actuarial T-Shirts!

I am interested in buying an actuarial t-shirt.

Actually, I was interested in buying an actuarial t-shirt, until I actually looked at some of them. They weren't quite what I was looking for. They said stuff like "world's greatest actuary" "actuaries rock," and "save a horse, ride an actuary." There was absolutely no creativity at all in them. It seemed like actuaries had designed these t-shirts or something.

So, I'm really looking to design an actuarial t-shirt. Thus, I need to come up with some witty statement and graphic.

Anybody got any ideas for an actuarial t-shirt? I'm looking for something I can wear to parties, to show how cool I am, and how awesome it is to be an actuary. Okay, not really. I'm just looking for something funny and non-lame. Actually, if it's lame, that would be cool too. Totally lame can translate into funny. I kind of figure that lameness would be the direction to go to, since it's a stereotype that actuaries are these weird, anti-social people. And also, that we're accountants. So, anything along the lines of portraying actuaries as weird, socially challenged accountants would probably work.

Also, I'm fairly decent at Photoshop. Not great, but I'm more advanced than my MS Paint days in 6th grade. So, if anyone has a suggestion for an image to go along with a caption, post it and I can see if I can draw something up.

I'm a bit partial to "F**k you, I'm an Actuary".

You know how they have that "pi" shirt, with the digits in the background.

We should have the "a double dot x" with the illustrative life table in the background.
