This was a little more amusing than strange:

 

A short while after my daughter was born I decided to take my wife on a Cruise in the Carribean for a little R&R. We had docked in Jamaica and I had donned a pair of very loud (neon green & black spider webbed design if my memory serves me well) pants. It was the kind with the elastic waistband with adjustable velcro that are now popular with chefs and weightlifters. We were walking through the straw market looking for native dolls for my new daughter when I was approached by an elderly Jamaican woman who had a clothing hut. She asked me if my pants were popular with the Americans because she had never seen that type before and they seemed to be a simple design that she felt she might be able to duplicate them. I stepped into the hut and being one that is not very shy around grandma types(and the fact that I had 2 rum runners before leaving the ship) I grabbed the 2 velcro straps in the front and showed her how they were adjustable. Next thing I know this elderly lady reaches out to see how the waistband was made and the velcro attached. The next question she posed to me was how the pockets were constructed. I'm not sure if was the genuine interest in my pants, the fact that I was "inside" the semi-open hut, or the rum just kicked in but I just proceeded to remove my pants and hand them to her for her to inspect. She was looking at them for what seemed to be an eternity looked up and said "I think these will be easy to make, don't you think so?" I replied "I guess so". At that point she informed me, "I'm sorry I was speaking to them" . My wife and I turned and realized that there were about 5-10 other Jamaican Market workers behind us watching me stand there in my Tazmanian Devil boxers. I quickly looked down at my watch and informed my wife that I didn't want to miss the boat and asked the sweet lady for my pants back. I threw them on and started back to the boat with my wife laughing all the way back.
