Pairs...
So why are there so many things that are pairs? A pair of scissors? If you take out the little screw lose half do you have a scissor? Pants? Why is that a pair? It has two legs, but shirts have two arms. You don't say a pair of shirts. If i rip them in half do I have a pant? If you leave out the "pair of" you still refer to them in the plural form. It's dumb. I'm sure there are more of these stupid pair things.
I had some very weird dreams last night.

Re: Pairs...
I dunno, but some people around here need to grow a pair.

pair 2. One object composed of two joined, similar parts that are dependent upon each other: a pair of pliers. [/ QUOTE ] I guess I should have looked there. It's still extraneous. And it doesn't really explain why we wear pairs of pants, but not pairs of shirts.
