A Geeky Halloween Costume

Remember how on the TV show "Laverne & Shirley" Laverne always wore sweaters and shirts with a big script L on the front?

Why shouldn't I hit you with this bowling ball, you bitch

I was thinking that if you added a small, raised "-1" to the script L, you could be an inverse Laplace transform.

Everything to the right of the = sign goes without saying

And if you had a friend who wanted to wear the original shirt, you could go to a party together as "Laverne & The Inverse Laplace Transform." This was, of course, the original premise of the TV show, but it did not go over as well with test audiences as originally expected. The shifts from the t domain to the s domain and back again were just too hard to follow.
