OT: (Humor) The Importance of Underwear

Aug 07, 2006 7 Replies

UNDERWEAR IS IMPORTANT!! Listen up! If you don't laugh out loud at this one, call the morgue and reserve a tray, because you are dead!



Always wear clean underwear in public, especially when working under your vehicle... From the Northwest Florida Daily News comes this story of a Crestview couple who drove their car to Wal-Mart, only to have their car break down in the parking lot. The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car in the lot. The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand UP his shorts, and tucked everything back into place. On regaining her feet, she looked across the hood and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by. The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead.


Yes, it's funny. It's also another urban legend.

I`m sure we all realised that - but why spoil a good joke!

Same for this (and I must stress that it was sent to me by a _female_!): Scientists from Cambridge University theorised that because beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoestrogens) it was possible for men to turn into women by drinking enough beer. To test the theory,

100 men were fed 8 pints of beer each within a 1 hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects: 1) Gained weight. 2) Talked excessively without making sense. 3) Became overly emotional. 4) Couldn't drive. 5) Failed to think rationally. 6) Argued over nothing. 7) Had to sit down while urinating. 8) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong. No further testing was considered necessary.

That spoils it? I didn't mean to do that, but I am an advocate of Snopes. I get too much junk in my inbox from too many people who are all certaon it's true. I see nothing amiss with politely setting someone straight. The joke's humor isn't compromised by knowing it's not true, is it?

No, but it just makes you look a real old sourpuss! LOLOL! ;-))

I've never denied that. ;-)

In that case - you can`t be THAT bad!
