1/8 price sale
"So I was sick of being hot and sweaty all day today," my Dad said to me."Yes me too," I said.
"So I went to Matalan and bought what I thought were combat trousers."
"You? Combats?"
"Yes. Anyway they're the kind where you can detach the legs to make them shorts. They were three quid so I thought bargainous."
"Well done," I said.
"I was in the changing room and I took one of the legs off just to check the length, and I thought okay, 31 is better than 32 so I bought it."
"What on earth is coming?"
"I got back home," my Dad said, "And I realised I had brought the trousers home with one complete leg and one half-leg."
"Trousers for amputees, if you will."
"Yes. So I went back, and they'd decided to have a half price sale where you couldn't return anything."
"Ah yes, those."
"So I had a word with someone and they said I could go and buy the half a leg myself. So I did. Luckily, it was reduced."
"So you got a quarter of a pair of trousers for half price?"
"Yep. How cool is that?"

I've never ever HEARD of pants like this! A novel idea, no doubt. I'm curious to know what they look like. I may have to Google this!
Oh dear god! Why the hell did they make him buy back half a trouser leg? What price would you put on that? Surely it's a restricted market!
Your dad is awesome.
Chris - surely not? Saying that, it's quite hard to figure out what to google. I googled "Trousers removable shorts" and got this:

A teeny tiny all in one something.
