My Year's Biggest Disappointment

I was at the mall doing a little xmas shopping last weekend when I noticed a man trying on some cashmere in the middle of the sweater department at Macy's. Apparently it was too much trouble to find a fitting room. Normally, I wouldn't complain, simply because I've done the same thing myself on occasion. Except I'm a little more discreet and a lot less obese. Fortunately he had a T-shirt on underneath, but unfortunately it got caught up in the ensuing struggle to remove the outerwear and it was subsequently lifted up to chin level, revealing his pasty white Santa-sized belly and hairy man boobs to the entire shopping crowd.

To make matters worse he seemed to get momentarily stuck and he tried to shimmy his way out of the situation. Initially I was caught off guard by the whole scene, as it was something that would normally happen to me and not to others. But eventually I came to my senses, and so it was a race with the clock as I frantically patted down my own pockets in a panicked search of my camera phone. I lost that race when the man's wife swooped in to manually lower his T-shirt to a respectable level. Little did either of them know that he was a mere moment away from Internet stardom. Sigh. You can't win 'em all.

To apologize for missing out on such an awesome opportunity, I will post this ass-crack picture instead. I didn't take this picture and it's not nearly the same caliber as what I personally witnessed, but it will have to do:
