Silly Saying #1
"[insert event / person here] bores the pants off of me..."
This saying does not make sense. If something orsomeone is boring, why would you take your pants off? Is the idea that removal of pants may make the moment less boring? Or is this a way of saying you are so bored that you are getting ready to go to bed and removing your pants in preparation? Perhaps this saying originated from the likelihood that a bored partner may get naked to stop their boring companion from continuing the boring behaviour? Maybe there was once an incredibly powerful boring spececiman that could remove pants just through the sheer boredom projected? Is it saying that people only remove their pants when they are bored? Does anyone really know how this saying came about?
This is a somewhat boring post. Are your pants still on?

perhaps it originally referred to "bores" as in tunnels, or digs.
Nothing sexier than a little excavation on a weeknight.

mmmm I might have to get my pants off!!!
Am I bored or do I have other intentions!
Maybe the act of taking ones pants off is supposed to lighten the moment as suggested.
Who really has any idea, not me, no ideas here, none, zip, naf all.
That said it's beer time, again!!!!!!!
