We're not talking about pants here...  "Le Vice Anglais" and 
enthusiasm for it is believed to originate from the fine old school 
custom of corporal punishment (caning - entre nous).  The stripes 
are put on the OSB by the cane.  

I humbly grovel at the feet of the list elves and promise I will say 
no more about this (yes I know it's getting perilously OT!)
