Once upon a time, I was driving back to Murfreesboro after trout fishing the Caney Fork. I had focused my attention on a deer across the river and stepped into a hole and the water came up above my waist. Typically I carried a change of clothes on such trips, but this was a trip of impulse so I didnt plan ahead. I tossed my shorts into the back of the truck and made the drive home in boxer shorts.
Right as I crossed back into Rutherford County a sheriffs car lit me up. When he walked up to my window he paused and did his best to not laugh. I blurted out, "I fell in the river!" He countered with, "And it ate your trousers?"
No ticket. So youre good.
