Who do you know?

I have in my cellphone an entry for a man known as "Nick the Greek", and yes, that's his professional name. Nick is a very nice man and has helped me out more than a few times.

Our first meeting occurred when I had a very serious problem, and although I knew about Nick the Greek I'd never actually met him, but I knew he was just the man to help me out. I was at work when I'd noticed a seam in my trousers had come undone, creating a rather embarrassing hole in the crotch. Nick took care of the problem within seconds and didn't charge me a penny. From that day forth, whenever I've needed hems taken up or seams repaired, I've gone to see Nick. Nick the Greek. My Tailor.

My question for you isn't why you have a man named Nick the Greek in your cell phone for tailoring, it's what you've got going on down in your man-bits area that your trousers are getting holes? I mean, how old are your pants? If they're old enough to get hole in the crotchular area, perhaps it's time to get rid of them.

It was the seam that came undone, mostly because I'm a pretty hot guy (interpret that however you want to ;), so I think the thread in the crotch seam kind of...melted, for want of a better word ;)

It reminds me of the character Harvey Kietel played (The Wolf) in Pulp Fiction:

The Wolf: You're... Jimmie, right? This is your house?
Jimmie: Sure is.
The Wolf: I'm Winston Wolfe. I solve problems.
Jimmie: Good, we got one.
