Wife asks me what I want for Christmas. I know we can't afford a new $4500 custom rifle, so I answer practical. Told her I need new socks and underwear.
She gets me a pack of 12 pairs of socks. All good.
She gets me a 5-pack of boxer briefs. All good.
I take a shower and put a fresh pair-o'-the brand spankin' new undies, finished getting dressed, and go about by business.
3 hours later, I gotta pee. I stroll up to my toilet, lift the seat, unzip the jeans, and look for the fly-hole in the new briefs.
And I'm feeling around looking for the hole and I think, "WTF? Did I put 'em on backwards?" I check for the label to see if it's in the front and nope - it's in the back where it's supposed to be.
I'm thinkin' "these M-Fers are defective! Hope she's got the receipt".
So I finish my mission (in a much more troublesome and complicated fashion than usual - thanks to the "defective" undergarment). I then check the rest of the newly acquired skivvies to make sure they're not defective - and sure enough, the other 4 pair are hole-less too! Holey-sh*t, Batman!? Is this some kind of practical joke?
I then decide to visit my internet search guru, Bing - and see what Al Gore's Illustrious interwebs have to say on the subject. To my shock and horror...fly-less mens underwear is actually a thing! I can find articles about this dating back to around 2009! What in the 7th Circle of Hell is THIS new evil? Are they trying to make men have to squat to pee? Is this part of the insidious plot to rid the world of all masculinity (both toxic and otherwise)?
No way I'm having any of this, so I head to a local dept. store to get myself a pack of actual MEN's underwear, and don't ya know - 2/3's of their stock is this same abomination of man-shaming nonsensical concoction. With no indication on the package of the surprise contained therein. The only code words I could find on any packaging that might indicate the contents were of these abominations were the words "performance pouch".
Seriously?
So far I've asked three of my friends if they've heard of such nonsense, and they all looked at me like I'd lost my mind. I hope so. In fact I hope I wake up and this has all been just a bad dream.
Lululemon and nike boxer briefs dont have a fly. My pee trys to say hi if jog in briefs with a fly.
