GOOD NAME FOR A ROCK BAND
(Thanks to Janice Gelb)
UPDATE: I once wore a pair of these trousers (the Air Force pilots I talked to called them "go-fast pants") when I was taken for a ride in an F-16. It was an unforgettable experience, in the sense that when you throw up that many times, you remember it. Here is my account.
It's the wrong trousers, Gromit!

Were those yours, Dave?

Swedish forces investigators said it was "very likely" that the deadly trousers were to blame for the incident.
funny, that's the same line i gave my mom in high school after a particularly entertaining friday night.

My wife would probably smack me if I called her a "Strick-jocky".

"dammit, Q, these pants were designed to eject themselves at the right moment, not me along with them! I had famous double-agent Alotta Meatcake where I wanted her, activated the pants, and now she's dead! Oh, and Stockholm was destroyed by the plane."

It's all fun and games until somebody has a trouser-based disaster!

the ejector switch...perhaps wishing to rid itself of old-school fleshy control and fly free..

"This was a purely trouser-based disaster."
That's the same story I tried!

Wardrobe Malfunction?

The moral of the story: be very careful as to where you pop trou.

So a wardrobe malfunction totals a $30M jet plane. The SA Air Foece has purchased a lot of these multi-role jets, I reckon they should insist on a re-design.

Trouser snakes on a plane.

Oh my god, I so could not ride in one of those fighter planes. I guess if you think back to that it makes your air travel problems seem incrediby fun.
