My husband and I met thanks to a wardrobe mishap

• I've always preferred brutal honesty, so I told a total stranger that his fly was down.
• He bought me a beer and a corndog, but I wasn't looking for a relationship.
• We've been together for almost 20 years now.

"Your fly is down." That's the first thing I ever said to my now-husband.

In my defense, even though I didn't know him, he was talking with two other people I did know.
