The story of Swishwind Parachute Pants
Swishwind pants had eleven zippers, and not one of them opened anything useful. They were slippery enough for backspins on a flattened refrigerator box, which was the whole point. Walking down a quiet hallway sounded like a flock of pigeons taking off, so sneaking anywhere was out of the question.
Kids hid gum, lunch money and secret notes in the zippers, then forgot which zipper held what.
