T shirts put out by Berg include Pinnochio-hontas, Mailroom Manager rules, WOMG!Storm Center/Biff Buffington, etc.

From bergsportswear.com site:
>>From Howie Carr, 2001. This is the very 1st shirt done for The Howie Carr Show. The shirt was done to squelch the persistence of a very close friend, Malcolm French, who insisted that Howie need something to go along with the topic of the popular ?Daisy Cutter? bomb that everybody wanted to drop on Iraq.
The design was decided in a 10 minute phone call between me and the art dept on a Thursday morning (I was on the road on a separate selling trip). By that afternoon the shirts were printed and sent (NEXT DAY AIR) to Howie Carr’s radio station. I just sent a note stating that ?I heard the Daisy Cutter was a popular subject, here’s some free shirts have some fun!? Friday Howie opened the box and was thrilled! He started mentioning it on his show that afternoon and the rest is history. We received calls from all over the country. Not only were the calls to buy shirts, but the calls also thanked Berg Sportswear many times over, for showing support for the troops and having the courage to do so in spite of the controversies surrounding war.
