Say No to Crack… Giving CYA a WHOLE New Meaning

Let me just start by saying I live in Alabama. It's a college town, so sometimes you see interesting fashion ideas from that regard also. Such as people going out in public in their pajama pants and sometimes even their slippers (or house shoes as some people call them). It's not just the college students, though. The rednecks around here tend to have their own style, it usually consists of flannel, plaid, and/or camouflage. Then there are the thug-types. Guys who think they are "gangsta" or whatever.

Today I was taking my children to lunch. My oldest two are helping remove the trees from the roofs of the homes in Columbus that were victims of the nasty tornado Thursday night. So I only had the youngest four with me. My oldest daughter was sitting in the front seat and the other three were in the back. I had to stop at the gas station because I didn't want to fill up on my way home last night. While I was outside putting the gas in the car, another vehicle pulled into the parking lot of the gas station. The gentleman got out of the car, presumably to check the air pressure in his tires and then add air as needed. The thing is, when he went to put the air in the tires, there was a considerable space between the tail of his shirt, and the top of his pants. This space was filled with a considerable amount of butt cleavage. I looked down into the car to see if the kids had noticed, and well, they were all pointing and screaming and laughing. It was too late.

So here's what I'm wondering: If you are out in public with your children and someone lets their butt get loose and flapping in the breeze for the world to see, is it ok to speak up? And if it is, then what do you say? "Excuse me sir, but your butt cleavage has made me throw up a bit in my mouth, and I wondered if you couldn't pull your pants up?" Or should I just throw a handful of blindfolds in the car to have available the next time someone has their butt escape the confines of propriety? What I really wanted to do was yell across the parking lot, "Hey, dude! Your goose is loose!"

I would LOVE some input here...
