Green Pants

Jameson really loves green pants, when he wears them he can do anything.  But when he is invited to be in his cousin's wedding, he is torn.  He really wants to be in the wedding, but he would have to wear a tuxedo, a black tuxedo.  So what will he do?  Will he brave the black pants and be in the wedding?  Or will he stick to his green pants?  It is a tough decision.  A really tough decision.  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGH!!!
