“Welcome to New York. Duck, Mother Fucker!”

“Welcome to New York. Duck, Mother Fucker!”—along with the picture of a handgun—has been printed on many T-shirts. “I break the ice by presenting him with a New York souvenir — a T-shirt imprinted with a photograph of a handgun and the slogan, ‘Welcome to New York — now duck motherfucker!’” was cited in print in 1999.
 
“Welcome to New York. Now get out!” is another T-shirt saying.

I walk around the village looking at shirts of New York. They say: “Welcome to New York, Now Duck Asshole!”
 
Maybe I’ll send my mom one of these special shirts for Christmas, if I can find one that’s a hundred percent cotton.

But about.com does list New York as one of the most dangerous states for lightning-related injuries. Ha! Get out your Welcome to New York Duck Motherfucker t-shirt, homes. We’re still bad, if you don’t take proper precautions in a storm.

Some days I want to buy one of those “Welcome to New York MF, Now Duck” shirts and stand at the airport like a PSA. A hilarious PSA.

I’m thinking the guy with the Welcome to New York, Duck Motherfucker handgun t-shirt may not be an official tourism rep. goo.gl/GYlQN

@emilylhauser Remember those old T-shirts they sold on Times Sq? “Welcome to New York. Now duck.” They should have those in Chicago now. :(
