Wrong'n!

So much is wrong with the world, isn’t it? It’s really quite hard to pick out individual things to have a go at. One thing I can pick out is short pockets in trousers. Have you ever heard of anything so stupid as that? I doubt it! It’s almost as stupid as girls’ clothes with no pockets (dumb but understandable) and elephants genetically engineered to have small ears. Just what were the manufacturers of my cargo trousers thinking when they put these things on the market? And don’t think it was an accident. No, we all understand how much research and development goes in to making a pair of supposedly quality trousers. We all know that any problems are ironed out, which means there can be only one explanation: they are mocking us…

The story begins like this, dear reader…

I had gone to purchase some asics running shoes and a pair of cargo-trousers, like what John Rambo might proudly wear, and the reason was two-fold. I was getting over my fear of cargo-trousers (not big on pockets all over the place, I can’t trust their motive–) and, secondly, I was getting over my fear of people who sell cargo-trousers. Knock two fears out at once, I thought, that can’t be a bad thing! I didn’t check the pockets, that was my mistake. It was only when I got home that I realized the trousers had the shallowest pockets of any available: pockets for people with no hands, no less!

Some careful cutting and stitching made my small pockets usable, but it left me with a terrible depression, and did nothing to cure my cargo-trouser and people who sell cargo-trousers fear. I suggest that the next time you go to buy trousers you check the pockets. Don’t do what I did, solve your fear don’t make it worse!
