"But he left me naked shorts, the best metaphor known to gnomes of Zurich since the snake in the tunnel."

But he left me naked shorts, the best metaphor known to gnomes of Zurich since the snake in the tunnel.

Mrs. Garrison: Oh, that's too bad, dude. Maybe if you boys could keep your penises in your pants once in a while you'd get more done!

Butters: But Teacher, my penis never slips out of my pants. Eh-except sometimes when I'm wearin' pajamas.
