Where's my PANTS?

Overheard on a TV commerical for Nutrisystem:

"In only a week, my pants were fitting looser"

This brings me to comparative adverbs. They seem simple enough. Surely if my pants fit loose, then as I get inevitably thinner on the Nutrisystem diet, then they will soon be fitting looser. In fact, the woman in question was so thin, it was a miracle her pants stayed on at all. I think they were pinned.

So it's a slippery slope. One that we are making more slipperier every day.
