Scalene, scalene, give me your angle, do.
I do not know how long this has been going on, but lately it's become far more pronounced a condition than it ever used to be.
It seems that I have developed some sort of gravitational difficulty on my left side, perhaps even a pronounced sloping visible to no one's naked eye, but obviously visible to some nebulous creature that can push sweaters, shirts, bags, et cetera, off my left shoulder, whereas nothing slides off my right.
It doesn't matter if I hang a heavy bag on that shoulder in order to keep shirt sleeves in place, they will still slide off. Invariably I walk around with my left shoulder almost completely bare, because no matter what it is, and no matter what I do, whatever's over there will inch its way gracelessly downwards. I experimented with scrunching my shoulder up as I walked, but things still kept slinking off.

I could make all sorts of lovely jokes about obtuse triangles and acute angles, but am still failing in coming up with sufficiently amusing jokes to cover the scalene and equilateral triangles.
