The doctor had an interesting suggestion: Burn the shorts and eat the ashes. Pick a solar energy brand you’d like as a client and use their product to burn your shorts. If that doesn’t work, bon appetite.

Robert and Kristin: All very good suggestions. Robert, the concept of just the glass of water to go with the shorts has a minimalist quality to it. And Kristin, it was interesting to read about the artist who ate all kinds of things. If someone can eat a Cessna 150, surely I can manage a pair of shorts. But just to be on the safe side, we will be speaking to medical professionals (no, seriously).

Best,

Ted

Ted,

May I suggest consulting the experts in the field of short eating and other unconventional consumables.

Ted,

While I find all the gastronomical suggestions amusing, I think everyone is missing the point here. Naturally, if you added enough ingredients in large enough quantities, you may not even be able to taste your shorts or know that you are eating them. I think, in the unlikely event you do have to eat your shorts, they should be enjoyed pure and raw with a simple glass of water to wash them down.

To help you in your effort to land a solar account in 2009, I urge you to register for this event: http://boston.bizjournals.com/boston/event/5005 There are sure to be members of the solar industry in attendance.

By the way, I did several brief searches to see if I could find any history of human short eating and only found numerous references to dogs eating underwear. So I guess if you do have to eat your shorts you need to turn into a dog first.

Good luck!

Dear Nobody of Consequence,

All excellent suggestions, especially the short sausage. Also, the possibility of actually grinding up the shorts into tiny fibers for easier digestion is worthy of Top Chef.

Ted, taking to heart your very valid concerns about the rubber waistband, and the superb Ziti al Forno i Pantaloncini suggestion, the clear winner would have to be Ziti with a side of spicy homemade short-sausage.

You get all the aforementioned benefits of the Ziti, with none of the Upper/Lower/Middle GI issues that would come with eating a stringy waistband straight-up.

And if there’s any shorts left over, I’m sure the chefs at Finale would jump at the chance to make a delectable mousse or brulee using a base of finely ground fibers.

Bon apetit.

Personally mr. funny man I’ve been thinking about what the best shape is to cut your shorts into to make them go down the easiest. Perhaps confetti would be best. You could sprinkle your shorts on pizza, and put them in omelettes and soup etc. Kind of make a day out of it.

Hi Ted,
I don’t think you will have to eat your shorts, We are looking for solar farms for sale or projects with all licences for our European investors.

Michael,

Ziti al Forno i Pantaloncini is an amazing choice and is one of the tops I’ve heard. I think we may have to do an event at Finale (if I have to eat my shorts) so I can finish the dinner with a fine desert!

1. Bravo. Clear you guys get the content marketing this, are hungry for renewable energy clients, and are a lot of fun to work with.

2. I’m thinking Ziti al Forno i Pantaloncini (Baked Ziti with Shorts.) The ziti will mask the flavor, the tomato sauce should break down the fibers, and everything tastes great after 40 minutes under mozzarella in a hot oven.

Good luck.
