This morning I had an early physical therapy appointment.  I was feeling really good in my brand new pair of pants and new sweater, both in lovely autumn shades of beige and brown.

Seeing that my appointment was the first of the day, I stood outside chatting on my cell phone until the facility unlocked the front door.  A couple of people smiled and waved.  I didn’t know them, but hey, I’m friendly.  While sitting in the waiting area, I noticed a couple of other people looking at my new pants.  They really are nice.  Not until I got into the changing room did one of the assistants point out that the clear plastic strip stating the size ran the entire length of the pant leg.  No wonder people were looking at me!  Now the entire world knows I wear size ..…–you didn’t honestly think I was going to tell you, did you?

P.S.  For those who might not know, Minnie Pearl was a comedian who regularly appeared on the Grand Ole Opry and later on a television country comedy show called Hee Haw. Minnie always wore a straw hat as part of her costume—a hat with the price tag dangling from it!
