Please Send Home That Shirt You Borrowed

Please Send Home That Shirt You Borrowed
"Please send home that shirt you borrowed."

Postmarked Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. 30, 1910, and addressed to: "Mr. Clarence Fox, RR #5, Sterling, Kans."

Is it an amusingly nonsensical message to send to a friend? Or could it be a catchphrase from some forgotten song or play? Whatever the case might be, I've only seen it on early twentieth-century postcards like this one.
