PRINTOUT PUZZLE: [ DROPPING TROU]

PROGRAM: [Adobe Acrobat]

I think I’ve probably relied on this gimmick (not the specific theme, but the gimmick) a few too many times lately. But hey, in the best efforts of jumping on the immediacy, I kinda had to do this theme, and I couldn’t think of anything else other than using that gimmick. Makes sense?

And I’d like to say that’s a picture of me up above, but alas, I go commando.

Share the puzzle. New one on Wednesday.
