I’ve realized that in my arsenal I have three good underpants stories. I would like to share the underpants stories, and I think everyone else should share theirs. It’s just that simple. Tell me a story that directly involves Underpants (the funniest word in the world)
Jarbaby’s Underpants Story #1 - The Doctor
As a twelve/thirteen year old girl, I was at the stage of life where going to the male doctor and getting undressed was nothing short of mortifying. My mother, in her infinite wisdom informed me without an ounce of doubt that Doctors Don’t Care about seeing you naked, and in fact They Don’t Even Pay Attention.
And so we went for my physical, and, like the dedicated fan that I am, I wore my Garfield underpants that said “I hate Mondays” (clever? you bet. That Garfield!)
Anyway, as I lay on the table receiving the standard “pushing on your stomach in various places” test, my doctor exclaimed:
“Garfield underpants! Those are fantastic!”
Well, naturally. I died. Yes. I died right on the table and was revived only by the promise of McDonalds. He was a very kind, well loved, cuddly, sympathetic doctor, who probably honestly loved Garfield. His comment was completely innocent, but floored me.
The mortification of the situation passed and I went unscarred for a year, until I had a flu or something and had to return to the doctor. The same doctor. As my mother and I rode in the car I realized I was wearing the same damn underpants! (I really loved them)
“Never in a million years,” my mother said. “Will your doctor remember those underpants. Don’t give it another thought.”
Sure enough, as I lay on the table being examined. My doctor grinned a kindly grin at me and said,
“I see you’re wearing my favorite underpants again!”
And I never believed my mother again.
