Type it in capitals, mention a wronged member of West African society who needs my help, and you’ll have me hooked.

forgive me for asking, but have you cleaned your room since July? they could be under other things you’ve thrown on the floor  
and by the way, are you absolutely sure your wore them home that night?

I’ve not only cleaned the room, but moved it next door to make a larger study space. And yes, I’m fairly sure I wore them home - no way I’d have been allowed on the bus or in a taxi otherwise!

I’d bet good hard $$US that any cabbie’d let you in pantsless, if you still had your wallet w/ you.

Now, when I say pants, I mean in the American sense of long pants, not the UK sense of knickers. I’ve been let into cabs w/o knickers on, but the driver was unawares… :eek:
