Another roadside attraction

I was walking home today and happened upon the severed pant leg from a pair of jeans on the edge of the sidewalk. Just one denim leg, all by its lonesome. How did it get there? Why is there just one? Inquiring minds want to know. Any ideas?

I hope the reference to the Tom Robbins book isn't completely lost. It does take place in the Puget Sound area. And I have found that since moving back to Seattle my roadside encounters with unusual items has been increasing incrementally. A couple weeks ago I came across a wet suit nestled up to the curb, but somehow that didn't seem quite so strange since we do get a lot of rain here.
