Too much information?
Jun 16^th, 2017 at 10:22am

I have become a compulsive shopper for underpants.

This is not, as some would have it, a newly acquired fetish. I have enough of those already.
No, this has been forced upon me by circumstances beyond, or at least I think it's beyond my control.

Time was - when John F Kennedy was in the White House and I had an FJ Holden - that I didn't mind if my underpants took a notion to descend voluntarily or involuntarily, especially in female company.
But nowadays - and I blame globalisation for this as I blame it for just about everything - undergarment subsidence has become a daily hazard.

The Chinese have done a wonderful, praiseworthy job of lifting hundreds of millions of their people out of unbelievable poverty as we all know. Now I would like them to turn their attention to lifting their game in the production standards of the humble jock short, where the durability and functionality of its elastic component has plunged faster than the shares in the Ten network.

Believe me, I would point the finger at myself in this saga if my body shape was like one of those many balloon-shaped people I see about the place but it isn't. While I admit to a modest amount of middle-aged (middle-aged?) spread, it is contained within acceptable standards I assure you.

No, it's the rapacious greed of the manufacturers with their willingness to fob their customers off with anything sub-standard as long as they can get it out the door.

So the search goes on and like John Wayne in "The Searchers" I will pursue the capture of the elusive satisfactory jock off into the sunset.

Do you think maybe I could teach The Donald something in this respect?

Bonds make really comfy mens underwear- a bit of elastane but almost all cotton- about $15- $25 a pair depending on where you buy them- I have been tempted to buy some for myself tbh
