I went to Target yesterday and bought a pair of shorts, because I needed a new pair of shorts.
Took the tags off, set them in the bathroom closet to wear today.
Just got out of the shower and put them on… and there’s two pieces of pumice in the pocket! 
One’s about the size of a peanut M&M. The other’s maybe as big as a quarter, and kind of a flattened sphere. They’re both extremely light, visibly porous, and as far as I can tell without any kind of scientific apparatus, PUMICE.
What the hell?
Ever find anything weird in your pants?
Pumice is used to make ‘stone-washed’ jeans.
Those were used in the manufacturing process to make them look slightly aged and worn. They weren’t supposed to stay in the pockets however. They slipped through.
I’ve had that happen a bunch of times. Never thought it was a particularly big deal.
Ah, they do have a vaguely stonewashed appearance. Never woulda thought of that. :smack:
Not a big deal, either, really, just thought it was odd.
I for one would love to have that happen to me. Weird shit like that makes my day, especially when I learn something from it. I also rather like the alliteration in the thread title. It sounds like it belongs in a nursery rhyme.
