I while back (lets say more than five years) I bought some nice panty hose that were on sale. Being the cheap bastard that I am I wanted to save these fore really swanky times. This morning I was rushing and ripped a big ole gash in my current hose. I figured I should finally whip out the 'good stuff' and hastily unwrapped the hose. I threw them on and noticed a peculiar sticky feeling on my hands. The elastic had gone bad and my pricey hose turned into sticky, non-stretchy hosiery that left bits and pieces of the elastic on my hands. After a few seconds of cussing I threw them off and opted for the last pair of semi good pantyhose, praying they wouldn't rip or tear. Anyone want half a dozen pair of unwearable pantyhose?
