“So... imagine you're on a 4+ hour car ride home from a busy weekend with family. You choose your new, extremely comfy "Batman Underoos" set that makes you feel as if you have a secret identity - kinda with the outfit on under the clothes...? Anyway, now imagine your aunt handing you some Hershey's kisses before you left for the long car ride home. NOW, imagine you accidentally dropped one of the kisses on your (thankfully leather) car seat. Physics and seat warmers dictate exactly what might happen to that bit of foil-covered chocolate... NOW, picture yourself, hours later, pulling into a fast food parking lot and getting out of your seat only to look down and realize what happened and see just HOW MESSY one freaking kiss can be (this is NOT a segue for a discourse on relationships, btw) Picture yourself walking into the restroom of the fast food establishment with your adult stepdaughter who is changing her newborn baby. You do a little pirouette for her and ask if it looks like there is anything on your pants. Listen to her LOUD LAUGHTER - kick off your shoes, yank down your jeans and look at the seat - JOIN HER in loud laughter. Realize you have on the single most awesome pair of underwear known to humankind - wad up your jeans, tuck them under your arm,slip your shoes back on and proudly walk out of the restaurant wearing your Decade old Bengals jersey, a pair of BRIGHT ORANGE shoes, black socks and your Batman underwear. Continue walking proudly out of the restaurant to your car where you have a pair of tights stashed in your overnight bag. Walk back into the restaurant, now carrying your tights instead of your chocolate-bottom, stained jeans while still only wearing your old Bengals jersey, bright shoes and Batman underwear. Meet stepdaughter in the bathroom again and both of you proceed to nearly fall over laughing as she realizes you "actually went out there in your underwear".
Thank you, Dark Knight, (and TomboyX) for giving me the COURAGE to walk through a restaurant AND the parking lot AND back into the restaurant with only you on my backside!”
