Most popular Java T-Shirt distributed at Microsoft Conferenece 2005

The most popular and likable T-Shirt distributed at the Microsoft Professional Developer Conference (PDC) reads

Popular Java T-Shirt at Microsoft Conference 2005

Meet Sharat Chander (Shar) the designer of the t-shirt and the hero behind the successful Sun Microsystems booth in the Microsoft Developer Conference. The slogan that put smile on the people's face when they got the t-shirt was also written by him. I personally heard people saying "It is so cool, I gotta have one", "I heard that you are handing out some cool t-shirts, can I have one of them". Several Microsoft employees stopped by to pick one too!. Second day itself we ran out of t-shirts after distributing about 1000 t-shirts.

First day a Microsoft rep stopped by Sun booth and told Shar (he was wearing the t-shirt then) that the slogan is some what controversial and it is better if he doesn't wear it. However, he had no choice but to retreat when Shar showed him the written consent he got from Microsoft to distribute the t-shirt at the conference expo.

Now, can I get a "I didn't go to PDC and I still got 
this Java t-shirt from Sun?" t-shirt?

The one I need is: "I did not go to PDC and did not get this Java tshirt from Sun" Well, someone outside of Sun needs to give it to me...
