One fun way of saying that someone is totally, completely screwed over is to say that they're up shit creek without a paddle. No one's really sure where the saying came from, but no one wants to be anywhere near a place called shit creek, especially if they can't paddle their boat away from it. If you've been to shit creek and managed to make it back in one piece, you might want to add this Shit Creek Survivor Patch to your jacket or vest. This Saying Patch tells everyone that you're a survivor of some big screw up.
Sometimes, you end up sailing down shit creek because of something someone else does. If it's not your fault at all but you still get to deal with the consequences, all you can do is hold on and try to fix as much of the issue as you can. Shit creek is never a good place to be, but sometimes you can turn things around. Once you've made it back from whatever disaster you're dealing with, you'll have earned the respect of others, especially if you managed to get out of it unscathed.
This small patch measures four inches long by an inch and a half tall. The rectangular black twill has been embroidered with white lettering. It's very easy to read. The back of the patch is coated with a special heat-activated plastic backing that melts when an iron is ran over the patch. That's the easiest way of attaching it to your clothing. If you want to put it on leather, however, you'll want to sew it on so you don't damage the item. The black die cut borders make that very simple.
