I’m Thinking Of Buying Some Cargo Pants

I’m thinking of going travelling.
I’m thinking of going somewhere warm and bright and inspiring.
I’m not thinking of finding myself or anything like that. I’m too old for that. I’m pretty much here. But I am thinking of just going away and seeing what happens.
So I’m thinking of buying some cargo pants.
Saying cargo pants makes them sound like underwear. They sound like some military issue Y-fronts, possibly camouflage and made out of hessian, useful when going to the toilet in combat zones. I’m glad they’re not because I’m averse to fighting, and especially so in my underwear, but saying cargo trousers doesn’t sound right. Cargo pants sounds cool.
I think you need a pair of cargo pants if you are going away travelling. Some people wear cargo pants to go down the road to Starbucks. Some people wear cargo pants with a bikini top to gyrate and lip sync to music on TV. I’m not thinking of doing either of those. I just want some sturdy trousers to go travelling in. Something with a lot of pockets so I can put a lot of stuff in them. Stuff like coins and, um, maybe a pen and, er, some fruit or something.
I think I would look good in cargo pants. I’d look tough, practical, and reliable. I bet guys in cargo pants attract a lot of women. Especially hungry women looking for fruit.
The more I think about cargo pants, the more they sound like a good idea. I may buy a pair even if I don’t go travelling. I’ll just wear my cargo pants, look practical, and pretend I’m going somewhere warm and bright and inspiring.
