Don't Get It Twisted

I work in a world where I am constantly trying to get people to become more aware.  Mostly of their posture and movement, but it varies according to their needs.  Various factors influence my prediction of their success, but awareness of one's body is paramount.  This brings me to a disturbing observation I had the other day at work.  While it is quite common to see a woman's skirt twisting to the side, I was dumbfounded to see a man's pants ridiculously twisted at the waist.  One hip pocket was approaching the vertical smile, while the other seemed on a mission to become a front pocket.  It is quite believable that a skirt could twist to the side without notice, but there are various design and anatomical reasons why this is quite inconceivable for a man's trousers.  To clarify, this man was not twisting off of a mat, or doing anything that would have just twisted the pants.  Far too much time had passed, with ample opportunity to straighten out this most uncomfortable blunder.  It almost made me mad, but I was a little too aghast to settle on one emotion.  So while it may not be as familiar as "don't get your panties in a knot," I'd recommend you don't get your trousers twisted.

laughing beyond measure. I KNOW! the patients we see, huh? Multiple times i was walking a guy and his pants just totally dropped to his ankles, with no warning...and no underwear. they always act shocked every time. it's worse when they have bad gas and the walking helps them to relieve themselves (i know you know what i mean!) Last week I had a guy that sounded like a torpedo every time he took a step. I had to hide my laughter. He kept saying, "Excuse me," and then another blew... Just kill me if I get that old! ;)
