Don't Jump

Wandering through the streets of Leeds the other day, I was idly looking up at the To Let notice and I came across this young man next to it:

Intrigued, I zoomed in for a closer look:


He's clearly been standing there for quite a while, looking down and holding his shorts up, - a tribute to Victorian decency, surely - and I've never seen him in my life, though I must have walked down that street hundreds of times. I'm not sure why he's there: is he a famous Leeds landmark that I've just never noticed?

I reckon he's wondering whether to jump, but has worked out that, if he does, his shorts will come off, because elastic hasn't been invented yet. Shame.

I've always had a 'thing' about those signs and when I see one, my mind inserts an 'i' between the words.

Yes I know, I need help.

Anyway maybe this young fella had the same medical condition and was out on the town late one Friday night and was caught short, as they say !

It would also explain the 'grabbing of the pants' although not the lengths (or heights) he went to just to have a wizz.

I still prefer to think my 'wizzer' was caught in mid wizz when Leeds became the Pompeii of the North !
