A little more stride in the crotch

Click here to listen to an audiotape of President Lyndon Baines Johnson ordering six pairs of lightweight trousers from Dallas, Texas outfitter Haggar. LBJ is clearly smitten with Haggar's workmanship but he has a few personal requests. Basically, he wants to make it clear he HAS BALLS THE SIZE OF GRAPEFRUITS. That's why he repeatedly asks for "a little more stride in the crotch."
I also love the idea that, not so long ago, the President of the USA carried a knife in his pocket at all times.
