Way back in time, when I used to ride a dinosaur to school, the fashion Gurus decided to give kids jeans an elastic waist band. No belt needed. Me at an age where a boy could be embarassed to death. Mom bought me a pair, (two legs, a seat and a waistband. Used to be called a pair) By the way women's pantyhose, does the woman tell her husband, "just a sec while I get a pair of panty hose on," or some other ridiculous euphemism ? Back to the subject, I wore those jeans to school just one time only. Walking through the halls, two of my friends (?) encountered me and quick as a flash - - - one on each side of me, they grabbed the waistband and yanked my jeans to the floor. So, here stood this pitifully skinny, bashful boy, with jeans around ankles, dropping books and hoping no one could see him pull them up and turning every shade of red that could be, wishing that either he or the whole world would disappear. It's over, it's over, but it is pretty hard to embarass me now. I have been bare assed in front of groups of doctors, nurses, orderlies, janitors and assorted people in the halls and can wear one of those skimpy hospital smocks, the kind that no matter how you don it either your front or behind is waving in the breeze, with the aplomb of a bronze Bhudda.
