This is your kilt thing coming into play, isn't it?
Not that I object to that direction.
Sure.
Ancient Rome, about two millennia ago. Pants are a somewhat modern invention.
Imagine there's no trousers.
It isn't hard to do.
No binding flies or buttons.
Nothing 'twixt shirt and shoe.
Imagine all the people living cool and free.

I know. I have the soul of a poet.
I bought it for the low, low price of a ham sammich and last week's losing lottery ticket.

Except, at least I'm assuming, that many more people were in better shape back in the day.
My only pants story:
Back when I was in high school, the community theater group did a rendition of A Christmas Carol. (I had a bit part.) The guy who played Scrooge was an older gent who, shall we say, was no gentleman. Pretty much everyone hated him.
The first night of performance, after all the ghosts had visited and he's getting dressed as he's calling out to the goose boy, he put his trousers on backwards. Not missing a beat, he fastened them in the back and finished the play.
He never lived that down. I ran into his wife several years later and she said she was still razzing him about that.
So I guess there's one more option for pants, eh?

Whereas I was expecting something a little more--substantial. Ah, well. Some women like 'em small, I guess.
Talked to a pub'd friend of mine about how to do revisions. She had a couple of good things that I think I'll do this weekend to get started. I'm looking forward to getting back to this book.

They were, by and large, less likely to be corpulent, yes. But there were still some people, mostly upper class, who would give any of those overweight European guys in their budgie smuggles a run for their money.
Oh, and good morning, reppers
