pants on fire

a: Did you just-- is that you changing your clothes?
j: Yeah, well I'm just gonna throw away these pants anyway so I thought I'd just wear them now...
a: Throw them away? Like in the garbage?
j: Well, no...I thought I'd take 'em to Fred Meyer and burn 'em. They have a pants-burning station there--it costs 25 cents.
a: (laughing) ...And then you're going to come home in your underwear?
j: Yeah, well they give you these paper pants that you can wear home....


(He knows just how to get me laughing when I've had no sleep.)
