Question that has ocasionally popped into my head over the years (invariably while putting on my own pants):
Could a very athletic and flexible person hold their pants in front of them, leap into the air, and come down with their legs all the way through? Or is this beyond human ability?
(I suppose it would better to try this with loose pants, if someone is thinking of it.)
My little brother, a natural contrarian, determined that he would NOT put his pants on one leg at a time, so he…
…sat on the edge of the bed, and pulled his pants up both legs simultaneously. JUST so he could always respond to that quip with, “Actually, no, I DON’T put my pants on one leg at a time, like any other man.”
When I was young I always put on pants that way. Not out of defiance, it just seemed natural to me. The first time I heard the “one leg at a time like everyone else” line my first thought was “Why would anyone put on pants one leg at a time?” Of course, I discovered when I got taller that putting pants on that way wasn’t so easy anymore.
Here they are. I saw George Carlin walking thru the Detroit airport in a pair of these the week before he died. Definitely a guy who didn’t put his pants one leg at a time like us other smucks.
