2. well
the zipper wasn't invented until 1913, and I'm pretty sure people wore pants long before then.

3. Somebody who had an unfortunate zipper-related accident
Ala "There's Something About Mary".

There's a quick and painless way to free one from a zipper mishap, though. It destroys the zipper, but better that than....never mind. "We've got a bleeder here!"

6. True
after you get use to them. But, then you have to button them back up.
Crackerjacks are dandy, but a zipper is quicker.
