Diana - and all of those that get such a big kick out of these underwear threads.
I, for one, have had it with all of the talk of loincloths, breechclouts, dishcloths with strings and the other sordid descriptions of a piece of material that served the purpose that it did and does.
My dear wife, Dana S. (known to many of you as "Dana S."), at first thought these threads merely humorous and got a few chuckles out of them. I, naturally, thought it all innocent enough, and smiled that husbandly smile when she would relate the tales of the cloth.
Slowly - insidiously - things began to change slightly around the S. household. Strange looking curtains whipstitched together from several long, thin strips of cotton and wool hung in our living room from a piece of wood that looked rather like a gunstock. Soon, our bedspread was tossed out and replaced with a similar, albeit wider, version of our drapes. Our handtowels too bore a strange resemblence to the other recent additions.
I, being the good natured, amicable and understanding husband that I am, took all in stride until *gasp* our GUEST NAPKINS (not the outstanding everyday Bounty type that we normally use)bore the same traits. Boy, oh boy, was my face RED when I finally put two and two together - my dear MOTHER was wiping traces of Kraft Ranch Dressing from the corners of her mouth with a....a LOINCLOTH!!!!
People - please. Don't you think enough is enough? How long can this go on? Innocent people are being adversely affected by this undeniable travesty! Stop the underwear posts before it's too late?
(By the way, the red wool does change the whole ambience in our parlor - not an entirely bad look!)
