Baggy Trousers

As the family was pulling out of the driveway on our way to a cookout, my wife noticed a high school age kid pedaling a motorcross bike down the sidewalk. While we're waiting for street traffic to clear, she sees that his jeans are hanging half-way off his ass, exposing his boxers (as is the current style).

Traffic being too heavy to pull out, we watch the kid as he pedals by, all the while standing upright. "He's gonna lose his drawers," says the Mrs., just as his jeans slide off his ass, completely revealing his boxers.

Traffic opens up and we drive by just as the kid's pantleg gets caught in the chain, causing one great big tangle of denim and bike chain. I would've loved to yell "It's called a belt....look into it!", but the sight of this loser taking one of the worst fashion trends ever and turning it into his own karmic embarrassment was reward enough. It's ever so hard to look cool when you're on one of the busiest streets in town, pantsed by your own idiocy.
