You just gotta love questions from bidders who probably ought to bid on a dictionary before they post questions like this:
do you have jeans that are size 28 and are 98 % cotton and 2% polyurethane?
Okay -- here's the challenge:
Extra bonus points for anyone who can provide the best response that is:
1) funny and somewhat insulting - (sarcasm gets extra bonus points); and
2)Clever enough that the original bidder won't understand the insult.
Give me your best!

I wouldn't try to make them sound too stupid since there are jeans made of exactly that combination. They are stretch jeans and they are also made in 95/5 mix

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

And I was under the impression that polyurethane was what I had put on my kitchen cabinets...
I always thought it was polyester that went into the jeans.
Hmmm?

I think someone confused polyester with polyurethane -- in my opinion. I did learn that in 1993 the Navel Surface Warfare Center did a study on polyurethane and the advantages of using it for Rigid Inflatable boats....
Polyester is the fabric that stretches. Polyurethene is plastic. But, maybe they do use it in high fashion jeans. Fortunately, all I have is 100% Cotton - so don't have to worry.
Them's bes the one that are so slinky, you don't slide into them, but rather, paint them on -- tis the un-varnished TRUTH!
They be mainly for svelte folks like Ralphie & me...

Wayne...Tell her if she would lose a little weight, especially in the butt, she wouldn't need jeans that stretch.
