Nice bit of trouser!

[legalbeagle]

I was sitting in the sunshine at the front of Green & Blue today sipping our delicious coffee and doing some work. A man walked past me, with one trouser leg rolled up to the knee, and the other worn in the usual manner. He was in all other ways unremarkable.

Later this morning, I walked back to my car, and a different man walked past me, with one trouser leg rolled up to the knee, the other worn in the usual manner. He too was in all other ways unremarkable.

As I arrived at my house, a third man walked past me, with one trouser leg rolled up to the knee - and you can guess the rest.

Can anyone explain? Is this a football related gesture that I'm unaware of? Is the left knee flashers convention in town? I am suspicious that this is no mere coincidence.......

Masonic meeting, although disgracefully unsubtle. Secret societies these days, tch.

Were they wearing or carrying aprons?

[legalbeagle]

Well I did wonder about that but there was not a pinny in sight.........

[Ladymuck]

Probably a cyclist LB - I do it all the time (avoids bike chain grease on trousers!).

[legalbeagle]

But then wouldn't there be grease marks on the legs? Or at least some sort of grubbiness? These legs, all three of them, were squeaky clean. I checked.

You checked?!!!

LOL!

PS: leg tends not to "catch" the chain as do trousers. However, should it do so - one quick rub gets rid of grubbiness.

Bare nipple is usually the dead give away for Masons. Did your eyes reach that far?

[Ladymuck]

Eeeee-wwwwwww :-S

[legalbeagle]

They did! But alas no hairy man nipples were on view, and so the mystery remains......

LM, I am not a cyclist - what side is the chain on a bike? This was the left trouser leg......

Thought that was the W.I.?

[Ladymuck]

Ha ha...I've been cycling for about 25 years and I can't remember! Bike in locked shed at mo...but will try and remember to check later on when I go out LOL! Watch this space...

oh my Lord...this forum...

Left leg = definitely masons.

Or American gang members, according to the internet..

Next time you see one point to him and shout "MASON" and see if he blushes, if he does, then he's one of 'em.

[legalbeagle]

Good idea in theory SteveT but alas my restraining order prevents me from yelling at lone men within a two mile radius of Lordship Lane.......

[Jeremy]

Were they "yoof" losers / wannabe gangster types?

Or just normal blokes?

[KidKruger]

you roll your RIGHT trouser leg up to avoid chain marks.

[legalbeagle]

Two "normal" blokes and a yoof.

Does this inform your analysis?

[brum]

Is this one of them, LB? If he's not, then its one heck of a coincidence. I spotted him lurking outside my front door about ten minutes ago. He said he was from Kansas in the US and was sucked up in a tornado and dumped here. He asked me if I had seen any of his three 'friends' and a dog called 'Toto'.

He's on his way down to you.

*unrolls trouser, slinks back inside, quietly closes front door and draws curtains*

The size 10 flat feet were a dead giveaway...

Thought that was policemen, not firemen?
