A cosmic impossibility

I am, beyond a shadow of a doubt, sure of this absolute fact: It is a cosmic impossibility to put on an older pair of jeans, which happen to have a hole of virtually any size on or near the knee area of said jeans, without always first thrusting your big toe through said hole with your first and, often, with subsequent attempts. About the only way to get around this perplexing problem, at least at my age, is to sit down in the nearest chair and carefully aim away from said hole - and yes, this sometimes means finding reading glasses so as to not waste more attempts!
