A tall, good-looking guy about 35-years-old stands by the door of the train car, showing off his brand-new jeans from the Gap, size 38 waist, 32 inseam.
And how do we know those intimate details?
Because the pants still bear the long, thin, clear plastic strip along the back of the right thigh stating the waist and inseam size. 38/32. Printed eight times on the strip.

My guess is the guy is not married. My wife has saved me several times by pulling the size strip off before I leave the house.

Good to know that a guy who's a 38/32 still has a shot at being "good looking" :)
(I'll follow through with that diet some day, I swear . . .)

Interesting that someone with a 32-inch inseam can be considered "tall", too!

I'm sure I've done this before. I love it when I get on the L and realize that I put my undershirt on backwards, or something :)

Another reason to wash new clothes before wearing.
