Smuggling stuffed animals

One of the funniest comments I have heard thus far in my time at the shop came from a woman who was trying on padded women's cycling shorts yesterday:

"I feel like I'm smuggling stuffed animals in my pants."

In fact, I was not present during the sale of the abovementioned shorts, but I couldn't stop giggling when I heard about it and figured it might brighten up a few of your own days this grey Friday afternoon. Have you tried on padded bike shorts before? If so, you know what she's talking about. For my part, I'm hoping to get some padded shorts with the more swim-trunk-style over shorts for my trip. With pockets. So I can smuggle more teddy bears across state lines.

That is very funny, but the real question is...was she wearing underwear? I made that mistake on my first long ride and would have welcomed some soft stuffed animals in there by the end of the trip.
