Even in the midst of my second or third daily personal crisis of self, there is a certain satisfaction that comes from knowing I’m getting paid (or as we call it, “weighing it out”) to do a Google Image Search of the term “tight pants phone.” A survey of Swedish retailers has shown that tight-fitting pants is the second-most common cause of broken cell phones, as screens and covers crack from the pressure of being wedged into folds of form-fitting Nordic pants. The number one cause of broken cell phones was accidental drops, usually onto the rock-hard buttocks of a giggling Swedish swimsuit model.
