The History of Pants

“There is a compelling argument to be made about the merits of pants.” said the member of Parliament.

“Preposterous, nonsense, and pure propaganda by the garment consortium.” said another.

The argument stayed in Parliament for a proper fortnight before the isles of Britain were swayed in favor of wearing pants. And once the British adopt something the whole world follows suit, imperialism man. This all happened when they had queens and kings, the part of history you only really glance at because it’s not all that important. Textbooks just have eighty year swaths missing from country to country, something had to happen there. So this one of those facts that only exists in the “weird history books”. But it’s still true, for a long time people stopped wearing pants. Don’t be mistaken, people wore pants before this Parliamentary decree, but this made them an everyday thing. Prior to such people only wore pants on special occasions, weddings and whatnot.
