Stephen Morris’s Pants

[This is how things go these days. Trying to make the point that no one pays attention to me, or to the pants that i happen to be wearing, I post that I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard someone say “Did you see those pants that Stephen Morris was wearing? And– Bingo!– just like that women around the world are wearing t-shirts about my pants …]

Four women wearing shirts reading “HAVE YOU SEEN STEPHEN MORRIS’S PANTS?”
Four friends laugh together in a park while wearing shirts asking, “Have you seen Stephen Morris’s pants?”

Inevitably, variations on the common theme begin appearing. Note how the woman second -from-left has aged and changed the slogan on her shirt.

Pretty soon, everyone is jumping on the bandwagon, having a good laugh at my expense.

What’s so funny?

Silverbelle Sandy tells me they look great!

Is someone pulling my leg?

  3. Stephen sings about
    His pants in the gravelly
    Voice of Johnnie Cash:

    I keep my pants tied with a ball of twine
    I keep my heart wide open all the time
    I’m always searchin’ hard for love sublime
    Because you’re mine please pull the twine
