A "brief" tale - and True Story

1. In the winter I wear long underwear, OVER regular underwear. More than you wanted to know?
2. On Tuesday morning I woke up at 3:30, and got ready to go down to the station.
3. I put on CLEAN underwear AND clean long underwear, took my pants of the day before off a hook, and put them on, in somewhat of a fog.
4. My pants felt too tight and kind of "binding-new pants," so I thought they needed to be
"broken in."
5. I ran downstairs, found a cab, climbed in and began the usual spirited discussion with the driver.
6. Arriving at Water and Wall, I pay and get out.
7. On the street, I notice something strange and white flopping around down on the street at my feet.
8. It's ONE LEG of my LONG UNDERWEAR...all loose and dragging on the ground. At first I thought
"What's wrong? Where's my leg?"
9. I realize that the previous day's long underwear are still INSIDE my pants, and dragging on the ground
10. I thank the Diety of the Hours and Seasons that its 5AM in the winter, and that no one has seen me, and furiously pull the long johns out the leg of my pants, flip them into my backpack...and head onward to view history.
11. Moral: always look into your boots before putting them on.
