Putting your pants on the wrong way

Have you ever put your pants on the wrong way? I'm not talking about backwards here, I'm not 5, so stop your snickering. What I mean is the way you put them on. I always put my right leg in first, followed by my left, but for some unkown reason, one day I put the left leg in first, then the right. It was weird and wrong. I immediately felt the strangeness of standing with my left leg in the pants and my right not. Freaky. If you've ever done it, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The whole day felt strange and I wondered if it was because I had somehow screwed up what is essentially part of a daily ritual. Professional sports players have rituals where they do certain things certain ways before every game, and many people do exactly the same thing in the same order before a big test or presentation, hoping that because they did it before and had good luck, the same thing will happen again. By putting my pants on the wrong way I somehow screwed up my karmic energy and my day was just slightly off kilter. The next day, I made sure I put them on the normal way (right leg, then left), and all was well. If you haven't ever put your pants on the wrong way, try it tomorow. You'll see I'm right.
