Extreme Tailoring

My uncle was remarried this weekend. My dad was asked to stand up for my uncle during the ceremony. He planned to wear his blue suit to the church but discovered a week or so before that the pants didn't quite fit any more. He needed to loose a few inches quickly so he tried jumping on the Atkins diet. Plus my mom had my aunt take out the pants as far as they could go. Saturday came around and he hasn't met his goal. Rather than select an alternative outfit or buy a new suit, he took a pair of scissors to the back of the pants. This "second fly" gave him the extra room he needed to squeeze in. The belt secured the pants in place and the suit jacket covered the handiwork. Now i'm just glad when i was a kid my arms and legs fit in the stroller.
