WHAT'S WRONG WITH SCISSORS?

Raise your hands, flist, if you have EVER successfully ripped open someone's shirt. It's not POSSIBLE.

Is it?

...I can't say I've ever tried either of these things.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Neither have I. It just seems... Improbable?

I've never tried, but I think it's be possible if the shirt in question was an old, thin T-shirt. Ones with buttons could be done, I guess, but you'd have to get a good grip and really pull.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

It's very special circumstances, and you've got to have rips in there already, probably. Or tearing somewhere.

I think if the shirt was like. A bit tattered or already had loose threads and the person doing the ripping was pretty strong, it could be done? I don't know. RIPPING SHIRTS IS JUST NOT ONE OF MY HOBBIES.

BB YOU KNOW IT SHOULD BE.

[acidpop25.livejournal.com]

The buttons version would probably work. A lot of my button-downs have very weakly sewn buttons.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Buttons probably work, yes, but somehow I doubt that was the shirt in question.

LAUGHING SO HARD, I THINK YOU SHOULD EXPERIMENT AND TRY YOUR THEORY ON RANDOM STRANGERS IN THE STREET.

I DIDN'T SAY I WOULD BE DOING THE SHIRT RIPPING. It's just to see if a shirt can be ripped.

That said -- I hope you don't wear your favorite shirt.
