Disclaimer: This is just fanfiction, non-profit and just for fun.
Notes: Both of the shirts exist, but we all know this. Goofy/inappropriate words in foreign languages on shirts is so 2000. We have esoteric phrases from internet-based critics on our t-shirts now.

Summary: Duo spots a dumb shirt, only to realize he's wearing a dumb shirt, too.
The other passengers had passed by him long ago as they made their way to the luggage. He, of course, was in no rush. Vacations were about taking it easy, and he's not going to be one racing along with the people that came to this little island to visit home and family.
Duo was dressed rather roughly, when compared to the other passengers, those that will be spending their holidays with family. His (albeit new) t-shirt and slacks paled in comparison to the suits and dresses the natives wore, but he was a tourist, and don't you forget it.
He finally reached the conveyer belt as the loudspeakers said something about New York in Spanish. He stood near the very end of the visible strip and waited along with the families as they fished out luggage and boxes full of presents for their relatives.
That's when he saw it. Right on the other side of the loop stood a young man with a mustard yellow shirt on. In bold brown letters, it said, 'BEAVER PATROL: MOTHER FUCKERS WATCH OUT FOR WATER IN DRY LAND'.
He stared at the t-shirt and almost couldn't keep the laughter from coming out. When the Japanese boy (for that was who was wearing the mustard yellow shirt) realized he was being watched, he turned blue eyes in Duo's direction. The boy read what was on Duo's shirt and his lips turned up oh so slightly.
Duo looked down at his t-shirt, a kana-riddled grey top that he bought at Urban Outfitters back home, before looking at the boy trying not to laugh at him. "What?"
The Japanese boy gave him a smirk. "Your shirt says you're a stupid American."
