How I love that your denim material means you don’t dry quite as quickly as everything else in the dryer, particularly on portions of you where there are multiple layers of denim, such as that weird pocket midway down my right thigh that doesn’t seem to serve any particularly useful purpose.

So now, when I put on my favorite pants fresh from the dryer, I have a colt wet patch on my right thigh. Oi.

You have a horse in your dryer?

Well there’s your problem right there. Keep your damn pants away from young, incontinent equines.

I wash and dry jeans separately from the rest of my clothes, and when the dryer says they’re dry, I assume it’s lying, and run them through another cycle.

I hate damp patches on my jeans.
