I just finished reading an article about a man that was wearing baggy hanging down pants in the airport who was asked to pull them up - and when he refused, they removed him from the plane and put him in jail for trespassing. There is a lot that is trivial and stupid about this story - on both sides of it - but I think the best part of the story I read was the parting words of the reporter who actually did a great job in putting the situation in perspective - a refreshing change from the sensationalizing typically seen from reporters trying to make their story seem like the next major world headline.
"Thus ends the initial account of one of the dumbest incidents ever recorded on this site, which is saying a lot. ... Personally, I feel a little dumber for having spent a portion of my morning on it, and for actually feeling compelled to offer this parting advice, applicable to any situation you can possibly encounter in life: When in doubt, always pull your pants up."
