Caught by the zip

From the leading Melbourne broadsheet newspaper:

Many a slip twixt hand and zip

Not having the necessary appendages to experience this problem myself, I’m left to wonder - is this really a common problem?

Obviously common enough for them to research it…

I think I’ve caught Mr. Party Tool in Mr. Gnashing of Teeth Zipper two or three times, mainly when I was a youngster.
So not common for me, but when it does happen, you know about it, ohhhhhhhh, the pain and the tear from my eye.

Haven’t done this since I was a little kid. Not going commando helps quite a bit, probably.

I’ve done this twice. Both times it was an immediate result of being caught pounding the penguin. You know the drill, parents get home early, etc etc… And FWIW, I do go Commando.
