I doubt I'd be speaking with any stranger just sitting next to me. I feel about message t-shirts the way I feel about bumper stickers on cars. I don't like them, don't wear them, and ignore them. Then again, I don't speak to people sitting next to me on planes, either, whether they are advertising a message or not.

I'm with Nina Hollander on this one. I don't usually speak with strangers sitting next to me and I really don't like message t-shirts either or bumper stickers.. I don't often speak to people on planes.  On a few occassions, I did, and they wouldn't stop talking when I just wanted to be left alone.

I'd ask him if he's interested in some astrological predictions. He might be interested in knowing when his currency's value crashes to the ground. Then I'd interest him in an absolute net lease investment.

hello my name is tag

These would work for me if i was going to some event that called for a label. Maybe the guy has some type of memory problem and gets lost a lot out in public? Is his address and phone # printed on the back or inside? Or i might just say " Hello, I am Nakoshi Satamoto" just to f with him! He could also be an uber driver waiting to pick up a tourist!
