My Richard Pryor T-shirt

Do you guys know how many compliments i get on this thing when I wear it? It has been incredible! I mean this T-shirt has stories behind it now for real. I feel bad not getting it directly from the site, but when I saw it I had to get it and I figure if it's licensed Jen will get a piece of it anyway since it's an official T-shirt, right?
I had a manager in a BK, who said he was an aspiring comedian comment on how nice the shirt looked and then he just went on for about ten minutes about how much he loved Mr. P, young white cat from Michigan! At the end he said he cried when he died and I said, "yea, me too." I told him to just keep at his comedy and don't give up on it and then he stopped and looked down, like he was ready to cry again. Seriously! Like the T-shirt had just gave him an epiphany or something. It was a sight to see.
Then there's the arab liquor store owner who almost went crazy seeing the shirt like it had just made his day to see Richard and yelled out, "Now, that guy was a genuis! He was a legend! A true legend!" I told him , "yea, there'll never be another like him and thanks for the compliment on the shirt. It means a lot."
And then just the good luck I seem to have whenever I wear it. It seems my day just seems to go better and I feel like Mr. P is with me as I pound these streets trying to distribute my movie. He keeps that fire burning in me even when I'm out of gas. I put that shirt on and feel re-energized because it always reminds me, he never gave up and I shouldn't either!
Luv ya Mr. P and thanks for always being there, man!
