A little story...

A man goes to a tailor to be fitted for a fine suit. A week later when he returns to pick it up, he notices the right sleeve is just a tad too long. He mentions it to the tailor who says, "Oh don't worry about that, just hold your shoulder high and back like so and the sleeve will line up perfectly with your wrist. See?"

 

Then the man said that the other sleeve was now a bit too short. The tailor again offered a solution: "Just hold your elbow close to your body this way, a little scrunched up and the sleeve will be where it's supposed to be. Ahhhh...perfect."

 

Finally the man noticed that one pant leg was actually TWO inches (5.08 cms for all you metric types) longer than the other. "No problem..." the tailor replied. "...when you walk make sure you bring your right leg higher than the left then swing it in an arc around your outside as you reach further out with that leg with every step and you'll be fine."

 

With that the man left.

 

A while later as the man in his new suit was walking down the street he passed two men going in the opposite direction.

 

After the two men passed the gentlemen in the new suit, one of the men remarked, "Wow! What a horribly disfigured individual."

 

"Yes." the other replied. "But what a great looking suit!"

 

I hope Leitz fixes their camera soon.

An amusing story - but an inaccurate analogy - insofar as it should be >the man himself< who suggests the grotesque solutions, and then thanks the tailor profusely for his excellent work!

Here's also hoping...
