Pants

“Four thousand dollars?” Samantha asked raising an eyebrow.

“Yes.” Roger replied.  “Four thousand dollars.”

“How is that even possible?”

“It’s all about the microfibers.”

“Microfibers?”

“Yes.” Roger replied, holding them up.  “These tiny microfibers are state of the art.  They promote sweating and, in turn, weight loss.”

“Couldn’t you just put on an extra pair of sweat pants?”

“That’s the point!” said Roger, slamming his fist down on the table.  “Because of these microfibers, you don’t have to!”

“But $4000?!” Samantha yelled.

“It’s all about the microfibers!” Roger screamed.  “Didn’t you hear me say they are state of the art!”
