Rocking in Hakata

No kidding, Tori.

I guess this is why Japanese comedians always seem so much happier than your typical Japanese. They are rarely in their pants.

:)

Alex - you're 100% correct. You really can't argue with no pants.

Nicole - Wow. You get about 497 cool points for writing weird trivia that's related to the topic AND includes a factoid from my own state. That's awesomeness. Though I wonder if pants in that law means trousers. It was likely written in the horse and buggy days when our English was distinctly more British....but I agree - sure sounds like an attempt to keep the horses down in the dumps. Uncool, man. Then again, I guess ecstatic horses are hard to deal with. :-P Awesome comment.

... I'm... I'm not sure what to do with this.

So instead. I'm going to offer you some little known facts about pants:

In Tucsan, Arizona it's illegal for women to wear pants. By this logic, they must be euphorically happy ALL the time.

In Lewes, Delaware it is illegal to wear pants that are ``form-fitting'' around the waist. Probably because, what? they restrict happiness?

And lastly, in South Carolina no horses are allowed into the Fountain Inn unless they are wearing pants. Clearly, they don't want their horses to be happy.

You can't argue with no pants. Well, I mean you can argue when you are not wearing pants, but the state of "no pants" (yes, it's a state of being) can not be argued with.

No pants = True happiness.
