One year, my brother, a third-grade teacher, was going to attend a fancy school function and was ready to go in his nice black suit. Then he decided to put a spool of white thread in his pocket and draw a small amount through his pants and wait for someone to pick that small white thread off his leg. Imagine their surprise when the thread just kept coming.
