Which would you choose?

So I had a bit of a poseur this morning. It seems that somewhere in between my walking out of the house and getting into "Can't Think of A Witty Nickname For Him Right Now" Ed's car to come to work, I got something on my hands, which I had also accidentally wiped onto my pants. For the sake of my sanity, it was decided that it was just some dirt/mud and not anything else (the possibilities are unsavory at best).

When we got to the office, I went into the men's room and washed my hands. Whatever it was came off easy enough. So now, the question I was faced with; do I leave this stuff on my pants for the remainder of the day and look dirty, or do I wash them off and look like I pissed myself, at least until they dry?

I went for the pissy pants look. And now my leg is cold, and I am very uncomfortable. But I still think that I made the right choice. What do you think?
