Women and Their Shorts
Imagine a wonderful, sunny weekend with a cool breeze that promises a walk out of the house without having to sweat like a runner in a marathon. You and the love of your life decide to get out of the house to take a stroll down to the bus stop to take a short bus trip to a shopping mall nearby for a nice breakfast.
It’s only a short trip down to the mall and what else would one need to carry and so the both of you decided to just carry along your wallets, handphones and keys.
“Such a lovely day my Love…” You whispered, almost fearing that the weather will turn bad just by saying it out loud. You tuck your wallet into your back pocket and slip your handphone into the right pocket. Not wanting to scratch the phone, you naturally opted to keep the keys in your left pocket. Feeling good about the day already, you walked away from the gate with a trailing hand, expecting the soft hands of your girl to grasp it like she always does.
“Wait Dear!” She called as you turned around to face her. “Hold on to my wallet will you?”
“Sure!” You answered as you tucked her wallet into your other back pocket. Looking at her shorts, you understand that the wallet would probably make an unsightly bulge in her shorts.
“…. and keep my keys… and my handphone… oh! And also my bill. I want to pay for it at the mall!”
You look at her in bewilderment and pointed towards her shorts. “I think I can stuff all these into my pockets but why don’t you put some of your stuffs into your pockets?”
Counting the 2 pocket sleeves on her sides and 2 pocket flaps on her back, you said, “And besides, you got 4 empty pockets there.”
“But I got no pockets.” She answers with the tone of a person saying that the sky is blue.
“What are you talking about? You got 4 of them!”
“These are not pockets! See!” She exclaims while twirling around to show you.
“HUH? WHY THE TOOT ARE THERE POCKET SLEEVES AND FLAPS WHEN THERE ARE NO POCKETS?”
According to some of the replies I got in my plurk thread. These are some of the reasons why there are shorts with pocket sleeves and pocket flaps BUT are pocket-less.
- Sleeves and flaps are for decoration
- Flaps on the back makes the butt look more perky
- Women don’t use pockets and don’t mind carrying things on hand
- Bags are created for a reason
- Guys pockets are created for a reason
For points 1, 2, 3 & 4, I think there is space for a small pockets even when the shorts are…. short. So why not just sew in the pocket and let each girl choose if she wants to use it or not? Isn’t it great to walk out hands-free?
As for point 5. Er…. err….. errrrrr…..
“Yes Dear! I’ll take everything Dear. Anything for you my Dear!”
