I put my pants on in a hurry once, got the bungee strap on my foot as it ran down the leg, and when that strap came of my big tow and retracted up the pants leg I thought I was gonna have to rename my boat to "Tiny-Tim".
So I don't buy rain pants with bungee straps, they have to have elastic waistlines. The kind that expand so you can wear them for 15 years (TYME>>>>>HELLO?S?S??S?SS).

Incidentally, since the bungee strap episode, I've found one of my 2 Adam's apples makes my knees give out when you squeeze it. The good news is I'm really excited each time I get to wear a tie.
