One of those priceless moments that will stick with me for the rest of my
life...

I was on my way to work one summer morning and passed a moving truck outside
an apartment. There were two young men moving a large (I mean HUGE)
television set out of the truck. The one I could see has a pair of those
oversized pants. As he was making his way to the back of the truck,
his pants began to slip. With each step his pants got lower and lower until
as he reached the top of the ramp they collapsed into a heap around his
ankles. So now etched into my memory is this guy holding a TV worth more
than three months rent for the place he is moving into with his pants around
his ankles and his polka dot boxers (I am not making this up!) swaying in the
breeze standing there with no where to put the TV and no way to pull up his
pants. Another sensless victim of fashion.

(side note: The pants thing has been researched and discovered to have
originated in prisons on the West Coast of the US. Seems it is a sign to
other male inmates that you are willing to be the "catcher" during
sexual activities between male inmates. It was brought out of the
prisons by the inmates as the same sign to others)


I wonder if the people wearing them like this know what they are
advertising? Probably not.
