THE ZIPPER


 As the bus stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became
 aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to
 come up to the height of the first step of the bus.
 Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus driver,
 she reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little,
 thinking that this would give her enough slack
 to raise her leg.  She tried to take
 the step, only to discover that she couldn't.
 So, a little more embarrassed, she
 once again reached behind her
 to unzip her skirt a little more, and for the second
 time attempted the step.  Once, again,
 much to her chagrin, she could
 not raise her leg.
 With a little smile to the driver, she again reached
 behind to unzip a little more and, again,
 was unable to take the step.
 About this time,
 a large Texan who was standing behind her
 picked her up easily by the waist and
 placed her gently on the step
 of the bus.  She went
 ballistic and turned to the would-be
 Samaritan and yelled,
 "How dare you touch my body!
 I don't even know who you are!"
 The Texan smiled and drawled, "Well, ma'am,
 normally I would agree with you, but after
 you unzipped my fly three times,
 I kinda figured we was friends."
