A proud testament to deliberate mediocrity.
The “Underwhelming by Design” T-shirt celebrates the distinctly average, the comfortably modest, and the gloriously unremarkable. Rendered in muted brass with the official Department seal, it’s a quietly confident issue from the Division of Modest Expectations — where excellence is optional, but understatement is mandatory.
Department of Mental Mechanics – Est. 1885.
