on a serious note i remember in my fathers shul in the south there was a family of sefardim that had a simcha one shabbos. the patriarch of the family got called up for an aliyah and his pants proceeded to fall all the way down to his ankles. to show you the kovod the children have, the sons and other male relatives ran up to the bima and all held their taleisim up to form a curtain so to speak. the man pulled up his pants tucked himself in and he continued with his aliyah, and the men went down from the bima. not a laugh, snicker or spoken word just true kibud av
