you see, you must understand young ian, that the world revolves around "pants". without the "pants" you are nothing, and cannot participate in the "great circle of pants" just like in the lion king (but with out elton john) if it has no pants, then it does not exist. there is no meaning to life without "pants".
for when your pants die, and you throw them away. a homeless man finds them, and continues to use them until he gets collected with the trash that he sleeps in. thus dying under the overwhelming smell of garbage and soiled nappies. the pants go with him into the ground, and eventually a "bum tree" is born in its place. from this tree sprout more bums, each with a little bit of those pants, used as a loin cloth.
and so it is that the pants continue this cycle until there is no more to make loin cloths. then the bums discard the loin cloths and mug someone, steeling his pants and the cycle continues.
do you understand now young ian?
