About three hours after the snowball fight, Charles returned home in a frenzy. I asked what was the matter and he turned around and pulled up his sports jacket to show me trousers that looked like this:
So somewhere during the snowball fight, Charles ripped his trousers across the bottom. All of his pants (underwear) were showing and he had walked around campus for the past 3 hours. But the biggest questions still remain:
1) Had the students and fellow faculty whom he had spent the last 3 hours with noticed, but decided not to comment? Are the British really that reserved?
2) Did his coat actually do the cover up job nicely so that no one noticed?
3) Did everyone notice and have already plotted their blackmail pictures (Friday Flyer etc.)? Only time will tell.
Well, anyway, the junior lecturer who was silly enough to go to the snowball fight is now mourning the loss of one of his favourite pair of trousers. Those Silly Americans! :)

Went to class with his trousers on
A hole in front for all to see
No one noticed, How can it be?
The barn door's open
It's snowing down south
Surely this should have opened a mouth!
Sorry, I couldn't resist!
Afraid that we English really are this reserved! If anyone spotted this, Unless they were an incredably close friend, I doubt they would have commented on it!
Maybe this is the reason that mothers always tell their children to make sure there are no holes in their pants!
