Where'e Eli Whitney when you need him?

I'm looking at two shirts here, both of which proclaim ‘100% cotton’ on the tags.

What I want to know is, if they already used 100% of the cotton in the world to make the first shirt, where did they get the cotton for the second one?

You're right, that's a crock of shit! I feel like someone just spit in my eye.

I don't want it to sound like sour grapes, but it's obvious that this fellow had his family stuff the ballot boxes (and they're the only ones who have ever heard of him). It just goes to show that my own friends and family don't care enough to make multiple web submissions to ensure that I come out on top, even if I don't tell them to (I didn't even vote).

But back to the topic at hand, I have a theory on how all these shirts can have 100% cotton at the same time: they're each from a separate, parallel universe. Thus, each one was made from 100% of the cotton in that universe! The textile industry would be nowhere today without quantum mechanics.

It's also possible that those two shirts are actually the same shirt, but one version was transported from another point in the space-time continuum. There was a short-lived theory in quantum physics that there's actually only one electron in the entire universe and it just keeps getting transported forward and backward in time billions to the power of billions of times to make it appear that there are many electrons in the universe. That theory was clearly put forward by a proponent of occam's razor.
