You know, I was hanging laundry to dry today, and I noticed that, hey, boxers have seams too... I guess I just don't pay a lot of attention to clothes. Period. ; ) love/Reb > > I know that the English language has the expression "perfect stranger".

Me neither

Reb,...

But my mother would do a slow roll if she knew I wasn't... she

used to check the seam area of that little pocket thing that's

so handy when standing... That's how she could tell my dad's

undershorts from my uncle's when she and my aunt were doing

laundry while camping.. she checked that pocket.. if there was

lint.. they were my uncles.. if there wasn't. they were my

dad's... (You also would not find lint collecting around buttons

or button holes in shirts.. nor in the little pockets at the

bottom of those shirts either)

Yeah.. I think she might have been just a tiny bit anal..
