Thinking Pants

I remember back when I first started hanging out with John at Miller's apartment he was always pushing his pants up above his knees. I noticed and thought it was kind of weird, but obviously it didn't deter me from dating him.

This past Christmas my Long Island cousins were in town and we had a little party in Athens. We taught them how to play 1000 blank white cards. During the game, Amanda's room mate Katy noted that John was wearing his "thinking pants" (had his pants pushed up) and even created a card instructing everyone to wear "thinking pants." Thus, John's pant fashion is now referred to in these terms.

At the University of East Anglia's Law School there are international students from all over the world. One woman, from Tunisia, noticed John's "thinking pants" one day. "Do all people in the United States wear their pants like this?"
John told her, "No, I'm the only one."
"Why don't you wear those...not pants? Shorts."
John answered, "Then I would be cold when I'm outside."
"Are you sure all Americans don't do this?"

I thought you would like to know how John is representing our country. And I'm seriously considering buying him some of those parachute pants that unzip at the knee.

Does this imply that his brain is below the knees? BTW they called Cargo Convertibles and they are really cool (literally).
