Shirt Design Concept of the Day: The “Gerbil Shirt” is a real invention, patented in 1999 by an individual with a severe case of gerbil separation anxiety.

From Totally Absurd Inventions:

Hey, are you tired of leaving your small pets at home when you are out and about? Could you use a little more quality time with your gerbils, mice, hamsters or snakes? Well now your dreams have come true with the Gerbil Shirt! The Gerbil Shirt wraps your torso in plastic tube passageways, making your bod a super highway of fun for Binky and Bart. The interior surfaces are textured for traction and have air vents for easy breathing.

Something something Richard Gere.
