God damn it, why do my pants keep shrinking?
Or am I getting fatter? I don't have the time or the money to do shit about it, so I'm going to pretend that's not it. :cry:

4. I have experience

I lost about half my body weight but I never settled and somehwere my body is comfortable. So I bounce between about 3 diffeent sizes. It isn't really my fault...it's that damn dryer.

3. Maybe you're the victim of a practical joke
concocted by one B.J. Hunnicutt.



"Starting tomorrow... he gets taller."

:rofl:

13. I used to be able to keep mine stretched out by exercising regularly.
But now they shrink every time I try them on. I think it's a terrorist plot!

15. Hmm...could you be pregnant? The weight gain necessary for that might give you pants trouble.
Doubt it, but I felt like making someone jump today. ;)

26. Well, yeah, but I wasn't trying to make YOU jump.
Sorry, pal.

Oh, and I owe you yet another thank-you for giving me the data on those condos. I'm gonna drive over to Tampa in a few and check them out.

25. Levi Strauss is in cahoots with the Taliban
forcing us to continually buy new jeans as they shrink beyond our ability to fit in them. I think Ccolonel Sanders is in on it, too. And don't forget Ronald McDonald. Don't let that clown face fool you.

22. You're not gaining weight
but due to your enhanced intelligence, your brain has exceeded the size of your cranial cavity and has started to occupy other area of your body.

29. Here is something to make
you feel better.
The chemicals they put in fabric to keep it from shrinking washes out after so many washings! Really, that is true.

If ALL of your pants are shrinking,,,,,,it's something else..
