I just don't think I'd have made the connection even if I had remembered it. When was it - 1939?
Don't remember the date. I must admit, I didn't get it when I first read it. First you must make the leap from "scarecrow" & "wizard" to the Wizard of Oz story/movie. Then there's the implication the shirt wearer makes that the shirt reader has joined the group traveling to Oz to, like the scarecrow, request a brain. Thusly, the punchline on the shirt becomes understandable. Maybe I'm attracted to punchlines that aren't immediately apparent or understood by everyone!
Anyway, when the light dawned in my own mind, I literally LOL and thought I'd share it with yous guys!
