CD Pants last Friday: "Pants are made
for men and not men for pants. Women
are made for men, and not pants. When a
man pants for woman or woman pants
for man, they are pair of pants, Such
pants don't last. Pants are like molasses,
they are thinner in hot weather and thick
err in cold. The man in the moon changes
his pants during an eclipse. Don't you go
to the pantry for pants, you may be mis-
taken. Men are often mistaken in pants.
Such mistakes make breaches OF promise.
There has been much discussion as to
whether pants is singular or plural.
Seems to us when men wear pants they
are plural and when they don't wear any
it is singular. Men get on 4 tear IN their
pants, and it is all right; but when the
pants get on tear, it is all wrong"
