Shirts used to have proper tails, (and maybe some still do?)
This took the form of an elongated flap of fabric that was tucked in under the back of the trousers.

Carpet Sledging Shirt restores this feature, but enhances it further. Firstly the tail is larger, (ie much longer) so that when pulled out, the wearer can actually sit fully on it, including their feet if they draw in their knees. Secondly, it is treated with a teflon coating on the outside in order to facilitate easy gliding over a carpeted surface.

To take full advantage of the Carpet Sledging Shirt, a willing partner simply tows the shirt wearer along using their tie, as they sit on the Sledging Shirt's friction reducing tail.

One possible variant would allow the wearer to use it for hauling freight, or just sled training for fitness.

You're not alone in that. I get a mental juxtaposition of a sledge-hammer and brown sludge that ruins the whole Christmassy sledding scene for me.

What a remarkable coincidence. Every time we hear the term [21 Quest], we also think longingly of hitting something with a large hammer. Spooky, huh ?

Instead of sleigh bells ringing at Christmas, we could have sledged bells ringing. (imagines sweaty sledge hammer wielding builder types pounding piles of bells into fragments)

I just think of getting hammered.

One gets the impression that [xenzag] has attended some interesting office Christmas parties.
