It says to the world: I never need to run/type/do anything menial. It's a statement that's been made throughout history by every culture on earth. <br /><br />However, this particular fashion statement is quite popular in my neighborhood. I never thought much about its practical ramifications until I saw a guy walking down the sidewalk with his two-year-old. She broke free and ran toward the street. Thanks to his jeans, he literally couldn't catch her. A man in his 70s finally wrangled the child--and had a few choice words for the young gentleman with his pants around his thighs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
