The Divided Skirt by Sam KW.
Starsky and Hutch are in a clothing store when they hear a conversation taking place between a mother and her daughter.
“Mom, I do not want these ‘trousers’” The little girl, not more than five years old sounded really annoyed.
“This is not a trouser Amy, it is a ‘divided skirt’- See when you wear it, it wouldn’t even look like a trouser”
“If it is not a trouser and if it doesn’t like look like a trouser why do we have to buy it? Why can’t we just buy a skirt?” The little girl was now furious.
Hutch smiled thinking that the kid was ‘Starsky material’.
“Smart kid you have there.. Mam..” He heard Starsky’s voice behind him and turned to see the glares coming from the mother. He quickly exited the store dragging Starsky with him.
“Do you know why they came up with this idea of divided skirts?” Starsky asked while walking towards to the Torino.
“Well.. it is said that women who couldn’t catch the eye of a man even with their pretty skirts started to wear ‘trouser-like’ skirts”
“That’s the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard” Starsky grunted.
“That is exactly why women wore it – they thought ‘to be laughed at’ was better than not been looked at all”
“I am sure it was a ‘man’ who came up with that idea” Starsky hissed and Hutch opened his mouth to deny it but then remembered that Starsky was right- as usual.
“Well Starsky a divided skirt is just a pair of trousers with one large leg”
“Ahh Mr. College Boy… don’t you think that a pair of trousers is simply two small skirts?”
