The only ads I read are for groceries because I'm not buying, but I was caught on an ad showing a young girl wearing jean shorts that appeared to be wrinkled, dirty and badly worn. I guess they are the style; Japanese once were paying big money for worn, faded and holey jeans.
Poor as we were I never wore pants with holes to school -- patched, yes. And I always had a nice pair to wear to church. And that brings to mind a tale.
Verses to Issac Watts' great hymn "Alas and did my Savior bleed" were changed --drastically -- but sung to the same music. I remember very little of it but one verse included these words "there on the fence where I tore my Sunday pants and the burden on my heart rolled away." I tried to jump a barbed wire fence while wearing my Sunday pants and, yes, tore my Sunday pants. Thankfully, I can't recall the punishment that followed.
