Down She Went

This is a real instant message conversation I just had...

Frank... do you know Kelly?
Allison... yes
Frank... she was carrying a piece of cake and just tripped and fell - wanna know the culprit?!?!
Frank... heel got caught in her pant leg.
Frank... sure enough
Frank... big thud, everything though
Frank... made me think of you and chuckle
Allison... did her cake go flying?
Allison... this is a serious problem!! although I am laughing pretty hard
Allison... poor girl
Frank... I didn't have the heart to stand up and make it more of a scene. I think she recovered ok though.
Allison... how did you even know that is what happened
Frank... "thud", then a "oh my, are you ok?" from an innocent bystander, then a "yes, my heel got caught in my pant leg."
Frank... cake must've been ok.
Allison... i doubt it that cake was probably a goner
Frank... she had "fuzzies all over her knee" though from the floor.
Allison... oh my gosh I am doing my loud laugh
Allison... people are starting to wonder.
Allison... she should raise up her pant leg... probably some blood
Frank... it's really amazing that somebody hasn't got a solution for this problem. The scene must play out several times a day all across America...or the WORLD.
Allison... it totally does... I have already heard of soo many other instances since I had my fall
Allison... she's going to walk like a pigeon the rest of the day

If you haven't learned by now ladies, if you have pants with cuffs, sew those bad boys to your pants. It still gives you the 'cuff' look without the walking hazard. I seriously just heard another story the other day of a lady who was walking into work, and went flying into the air when her heel got caught in her pant leg landing her at the base of the escaltor at 7:50am. I also heard of another lady going down like a ton of bricks in the tunnel that connects our parking garage to our building... heel caught up in pants. It throws women to the floor faster than a bolt of lightening can strike leaving egos bruised as well as palms, knees, and legs. If my previous blog about my personal falling story didn't convince you to see your tailor hopefully this will.
