“Cancel my subscription—I don’t need your issues”

“Cancel my subscription—I don’t need your issues” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many gift items, such as T-shirts,  posters and bumper stickers. The saying takes a magazine subscription response and makes it into a relationship one-liner.
 
“CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION - I DON’T NEED YOUR ISSUES” was cited in August 2002, when the saying was observed on a T-shirt.
 
“Damn girl, are you a newspaper? Because there’s a new issue with you every day” is a similar saying.

I recently saw two t-shirts that I loved as well.  Unfortunately, they were on someone else’s body at the time:
 
“Cancel my subscription.  I don’t need your issues.”
“Stupidity takes its toll.  Please use exact change.”
