It goes CRRRRcccccttt , in your _ _ _ _ _

Today I was wearing my blue jeans that I somehow claimed from my niece a few years ago. She happens to be a tad bit shorter than me; but the jeans were a perfect fit otherwise. So being the self conscience person that I have turned myself into, I would habitually keep pulling down the pipes of the jeans so that it will not be all that high ...

At approximately 12:42 I was on my way to my already late lunch desperately trying to still be able to make it in time for Xhosa lessons at 1pm. So the multitasking person that i am, yogi sip in the left hand, keys in the right busy and locking my office door when I tugged on the jean pipes to kinda straighten up my clothing (only yes I know that you tug downwards).

....... I heard a CRRRRcccccttt....
The jeans ripped! It ripped a nice horizontal line approx at the point where the length of a hotpants would stop. So for those who didn’t quite get the story, NO! I did not bend and then a rip appeared at the behind; this rip was horizontal (a line like this --------- ) on my left leg, in the front noggals.

I burst out laughing on my way to the first aid kit (note the quick thinking involved here) and start looking for the sticky bandage stuff. At some point I have E the building supervisor hovering over my shoulder trying to see what I’m up to. When he figured it out he suggested I use this tape that seemed thinner than the rest and so I opted for that and grabbed the scissors and headed towards the toilet.

Now, the toilet is not exactly “a few steps away”, neither is it “just around the corner”...picture this. The length of the building could be 100m and my office is way on the right whereas the toilets are all way on the left. I know. Yes I had to mission pass the students (sulk).

Yes the tape didn’t stick to my jeans after making an 'X marks the spot' on the inside of my jeans to keep the rip in tact for the rest of the day. Sigh. Back to the first aid box cursing E and grabbed the very sticky 'sticky bandage', trekked off to the toilet again and fixed up the rip.

So finally i get to have my yogi sip while chatting to some colleagues outside when I realised that its 13:07 and Xhosa lessons have already started. SHHHIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!

So that was my very hectic active day (well part of it).
Suddenly I’m cracking myself up with this ‘AnaJoke’ I just thought up which puts this story into perspective "I let one rip" Hahaha
