Grampa, tell them the Taliban took all the long length normal size jeans and left nothing except a couple of pairs of pants in yellow and purple plaid that can ONLY be hand washed and hung dry. (Ya'll might can tell that I went shopping at the mall with Mrs Lobo this past weekend).
Ladies, before you ask, I tried to stop them...but they were gone before I got there.
Well, at least you TRIED. That's all us ladies can ask of any gentleman </tongue being removed from cheek>
