As of last night’s shopping trip to Wally World. I have successfully displaced all tighty whitey’s from my dresser. I’m not completely boxer-briefs and a few boxers. I know these threads come up annually or so, but I felt compelled to share my good news.

Also I discovered that the less underwear I have the more often I do laundry so I’ve about halved how much underwear I own in an effor to do more laundry before it grows eyes and threatens to eat me.

I’m the opposite with my thinking. I realized that if I own a lot of underwear, then I don’t have to do laundry as often. As a result, I own about fourty pairs of underwear and do laundry once a month.

Well that was my logic, but then when I did laundry it would take me 3 days to get caught up. So thus the new plan.
