Jeans and a Movie

How do you get in to see a movie for free?

Back when I was a youngster, there were a couple of creative options. You could buy a ticket for one movie, then after it was finished you could slip into another theater to watch a different one. Or, a bunch of us (I mean "them") could pool our (their) money to buy one ticket, then that guy could let the rest of us (I mean "them") in through the fire exit door.

I only know these things because of all those ne'er-do-wells that I was in school with, of course.

Anyway, tonight we discovered a much easier (and completely legal) method.

Try on a pair of jeans.

Yep. That's it. Go to the mall, find the store that was giving away a free movie ticket for trying on a pair of jeans and walk out with a free ticket. If you actually bought some jeans, they would give you two free tickets.

Currently, I have no need for another pair of jeans or a second ticket. But I'll put on a pair of pants to see a movie for free any day.
