Under-appreciated

Listen, going through life as underwear is no joke. While the shirts and pants and — especially the shoes — get to see all the sites and receive compliments throughout the day, you’re toiling away in dank obscurity in a thankless job: Providing support and comfort to the family jewels, enduring leaks, shit stains, noxious gases that would curl your toughest fibers. And don’t get me started on the yeasty discharges.

Yes, the washing machine brings some relief, but after you come out of the dryer all clean and refreshed, those sweaty people put you right back on and in less than 24 hours, you’re back in the damned dirty hamper.

And while those other garments get taken off to be worn again and again and get carefully folded or hung away, you’re stuffed in some dark drawer.

Really, being an undergarment means living life as an unsung, underappreciated hero. Your only chance to shine is on date night. If you get lucky, you get to be the star and flash your full glory if only for a few minutes before you’re hurriedly ripped off and tossed in some dark corner. At least it’s not that damned hamper.
