Even the underwear's becoming longer

[Bede735]

I must confess I always wear briefs, because I just find that comfortable. However, I was in a high street store today and virtually all of the men's' underwear were garments coming down close to the knee.

Now who wants to wear a pair of shorts under your trousers? It can't be an issue of modesty as it is underwear. Unless.... you get knocked down by a car, break your leg and the paramedics have to cut off your trousers. You'd obviously feel a lot more comfortable knowing that you weren't exposing your bare thighs!
