Low Blow For Low Riders

(Our hall monitor walks around with a megaphone, and is notorious for being a drill sergeant about dress code. There are rumors that he has a rule: If you are wearing low-riding pants, you can keep them as long as you can beat him in a race down the very long hallway without touching them. I never believed the rumors. One day my friends and I are hanging around before class starts.)

Friend: “What was that noise?”

(There is lots of unintelligible shouting and people start backing against the walls. Suddenly, I see the hall monitor bolting down the hallway, laughing gleefully. A few seconds after that come two boys hobbling along as fast as they can with their pants around their knees.)

Me: “Well, that’s THAT rumor settled!”
