There's this one thing about me that everyone should know.
When I have something I really like I tend to get really attached to it for
a long time.

Like clothes for example.

I have been wearing this one favorite pair of boxer shorts for more than 5-6 years now.
Comfy as a smelly pillow, I swear!
Of course I have a few more in the wardrobe but this particular pair has been with me the longest.

You might wonder if a piece of cloth can really last that long through all the wearing,
washing and hanging out under the weather... Why yes! I am still wearing mine!
Though the faded color shows its age, there isn't any
tear on the rear (where the butt crack is), it is decent enough to wear at home.
It's just that the shorts no longer stay on my waist, see? I have to keep pulling it up and adjusting from time to time to keep it from falling off me.
I don't mind, really.

But it's telling me a brand new pair.

I can be ignorant sometimes.


Yesterday I was picking up the dry laundry outside in the back porch.
I couldn't find any empty laundry basket lying around the house. I went out to do the chore without
Hero, I tell you.
And I've learned it the hard way that I should never ever wear my loose boxer shorts while doing the house chores.

Why?

Bcos when I was carrying the huge bundle of dry clothes in my arms, my old shorts decided
to fall off!!
So technically, if my next door neighbors were outside, I would have given them the 'strip show of the century' cos my ass and ding-dong were showing!
I tried to make a quick dash to the back door without much success cos my boxer was hanging
between my knees. I moved like a penguin.

Letting the clothes drop on the dirty tiled floor was not an option
but I thought, even if the neighbors saw me, they wouldn't be quick enough to see the rest of my goodies, right?





Hmm, I remember being accused as an exhibitionist
a while back.

Oh well, you'll only live once...

(and thank goodness I shaved!)



Cheers!
