Occasionally some people so transcend cluelessness that it approaches the sublime. The most common example I have seen is the Defendant charged with OUI (DWI) who wears a Budweiser t-shirt to court. Recently, though, I saw a Defendant charged with domestic violence assault wear a "Tapout" brand "wife-beater" style t-shirt. For the uninitiated"Tapout" is a brand associated with Ultimate Fighting mixed martial arts.
Both of these examples pale in comparison to a recent faux pas by a client who was recently headed to court to plea and be sentenced for raping his two underage stepdaughters. The client, an enormously obese man, with plenty of area for a billboard wore a t-shirt with a pirate motif of two phallicly positioned crossed cutlasses over the caption "Prepare to Be Boarded." It was a classic moment. The t-shirt got turned inside out!
