Midas Well Sh!t T-Shirt

Volume II: Desire
Plate #DES-001

In Greek mythology, King Midas was granted a wish by Dionysus after showing hospitality to the god's companion, Silenus. Midas requested that everything he touched turn to gold, apparently without considering the practical implications of this arrangement. His excitement quickly faded when he discovered that food and drink also transformed into precious metal, leaving him fabulously wealthy and completely unable to eat.

It remains one of mythology's finest examples of getting exactly what you asked for and immediately regretting the entire conversation.
