    Once upon a time, there was a man and he was always drunk.
    His wife, to prevent this, got up early one morning, and hid his trousers, saying to herself "He can't go out now for drink", and off she went to her work.
    On comoing in from the garden she was surprised to see him sitting at the fire and humming to himself.
    Solomon the wise or Samson the strong
    Could not take a trouser off a man it is not on"
