One of life’s great mysteries is solved. You may not know this, unless you’re a guy. Then, you probably do.
Those holes in boxer shorts?
They’re for PEEING through.
Don’t even ask how this came up at my house because I just couldn’t tell you. Suffice it to say, E and I are the only girls, there are three guys, and there are things we just never have reason to think about. But tonight, after being streaked by a child in boxers, I asked, “Why do they even PUT those holes?” They’re a CLEAR security risk.
Hubs looked at me like I have no brain in my head and stated their purpose.
I dropped to the ground like a stone and howled. I promise you, I laughed until tears rolled down my face. I held my sides until my ribs hurt. I rolled from side to side trying to placate the ache in my teeth from laughing so hard. Every time I thought I was done, the mental image would refresh and I would start anew. My family just stared impassively, knowing it would pass. I was like a crab on my back, unable to scuttle to my feet.
Here’s the mental image that so amused me:
(and I should warn it’s probably only funny if you’re in my head)
A row of men at urinals with their buttcheeks hanging out because their boxers have no holes.
OH MY GOD I have to go laugh again.
