Emergency Amputation


Ever found yourself in the nylon dilemma? The one where it is Sunday morning and on the bed before you sits a pile of nylons - ALL with runs in them? What do you do? Display your hairy legs and claim you're just growing it out to stay warm? What do you do with the worthless pantyhose? Throw them out, right? Wrong! Today I found myself in this frustrating crisis. I had two pairs of identical nylons, but each of them had a run in one of the legs - only one leg, the other was perfectly fine. What a waste, I thought. I was just getting ready to toss them away when a spark of brilliance lit my imagination. Why not utilize the healthy leg by simply amputating the dead one? And that is exactly what I did. Please reference the photo: I still slid both of my legs through, except after a quick snip, one leg of each nylon resembled underwear. Aside from the double belly support, no one could tell I was wearing two half nylons! It was fabulous. Unfortunately I snagged one leg as I slipped out of the Chapel pew.

Hah! You are a crack up Abby..and brilliant! Why not move to Vegas and not wear them at all...the downside is you'll have to shave year round. :)

That may be one of the funniest things I've read all week. (Including last week)

Abby I have often had to resort to the same operation proceedure but I didn't have a fun name for it. Good for you making the most out of what you wear. Maybe Santa should bring you some new nylons. Love, Mom
