Belt Buckle
This morning, while looking in the
mirror shaving, I noticed that my belt buckle wasn't precisely facing outward.
It was facing out but not perpendicular to the floor like it was designed to be.
It had been altered in some way. I removed my belt to examine it. The belt
portion wasn't warped or twisted, and the buckle was attached correctly. I thought
it was my trousers, so I removed them to determine if an extra material might
have unnaturally caused the buckle to tilt forward.
At this point, my wife entered the
bathroom, and seeing me standing there with shaving cream all over my face, a
belt in one hand, and my pants in the other, she asked what in God's name I was
doing.
"My buckle wasn't facing
forward like it should, so I thought maybe it was broken, or maybe my pants had
an extra fold, " I replied.
My wife just shook her head.
"Look, stand up as straight as you can."
she half demanded.
I dropped my clothing to comply
with her wishes, confident she had solved this problem.
"Now, without bending over,
look at your feet."
I tilted my head forward until my
double chin prevented me from going further.
"I can't see them!" I remarked.
My wife smiled, turned, and strolled
from the room.
"Case solved! You can be an
absolute moron sometimes!
Thus started my week from hell. It
was 7:00 am on Monday, and I was already a moron.
