And dierein lies die second part of my testimony concerning Levi Strauss blue denim trousers for western gentlemen. For with her breath hot upon my back, I had to plunge down that mountain widi my nether parts exposed, sliding down over rocks, crawling down cliffs, climbing over fallen trees, pushing tiirough briars and, at a lower elevation, through oakbrush - all widi such haste that I was never able to pick and choose my way, nor to take proper concern for my tender flesh. It was then that I learned that Levi Strauss blue denim trousers are more than strong at the seams; they are almost as good as leather chaps at protecting the nether parts of man. Believe me, Sir, when I say that my scratched and bloodied shins, knees, thighs, and etc., were at that moment mute testimony of the protection I ordinarily and without question or thanks receive from said trousers. Modier Nature is not always as gentle as she may appear and when her abuse to my flesh became too much to bear, even for one toughened by western cowboy life, I stopped my headlong rush to again don my trusty trousers. Which brings me to the third part of my testimony to your product, its unsurpassed function as a preserver of modesty. For, with Levi Strauss trousers properly buttoned up, they are as good as iron pants to innocent young men. For my part, however, although I imagined that with my superior male agility I had far outdistanced my mad pursuer, I heard her so close behind me that, without stopping to button my trousers, I attempted to draw on my boots as protection against the prickly pear. Alas, I had underestimated my female Nemesis, that raging Bacchante, for she burst upon me before I had even one boot fully on; and, although I did attempt to rise and flee, she caught me in a grip of steel. In the ensuing struggle, naturally I restrained my superior male strength in deference to her, the weaker sex - a grievous error, for in a thrice she had me pinned and my trousers off. There, beneath a tamarisk bush, I lost my innocence. And so I must let this negative example be my testimony to Levi Strauss blue denim trousers as unparalleled preservers of modesty, for, had I not removed mine in the first instance to save her life, no doubt I would not have aroused her lust; and if I had been able to get them buttoned again in the second instance, she most certainly would not have been able to have her way with me. |
