"Merlin's Baggy Y-Fronts!"


Exposition:
I wear both boxers and boxer-briefs.

Conflict:
Why is there that absurd flap contraption on men briefs and boxer-briefs. Is there any man out there using this vestigial device since the invention of elastic waist bands? Does it serve some sort of padding function? Or is it there to bring attention to the fact there is something behind there with its own special door, so you know, it might just come outside and say hello.

Resolution:
I recently bought a copy of What Is Your Poo Telling You? by Josh Richman & Anish Sheth, M.D.. Let me just say, I have not giggled so much and so immaturely in a long long time. Go and buy it, and read it in private if you don't want to explain why you're hooting and snorting trying not "LOL" in the parlance of our times.

Epilogue:
No really, what's up with the flap? Hanes? FTL? BVD? Anyone care to chime in on this?

P.S. - the title is a quote from the funniest sentence in HP#7.
