When Short is Long

Man, I am sure glad that I am not in PE or playing basketball anymore. Why, you may ask? I will tell you in two words. "Baggy shorts". You heard me, baggy shorts. I would be so embarrassed running up and down the court with my shorts down to my knees. Come on, shorts look more like someone just forgot to put the last couple of inches on a pair of pajama bottoms.Basketball players look ridiculous now.

Well, since I am a year or two past PE days, OK, maybe two, I don't have to worry about that one, but I do have to worry about finding a pair of shorts that look acceptable for the suave ,sophisticated, man that I am.
I look at every catalog that comes in my PO box, Will there be any shorts with a 6-8 inch inseam? Nada.Some are even 12 inch inseams.Sorry, I just won't do it.I refuse to wear shorts that go down to below my calf.

Well, summer is almost here, and so far I have had no luck. I have one pair of fairly short ones that I bought in  Seattle in the nineties, so, I wear them whenever I wear shorts. Thank goodness women's shorts are still short.
Looks like I have been getting my legs in shape for nothing. No one will get to see my splendid thighs. Oh well.

Cedar: I have no idea how anyone can play basketball in those things. On the other hand you have to modernize!
