My mom always said to make sure I was wearing clean underwear in case me an accident, but I contend, if I have an accident, it will probably scare the s#it out of me anyway!

i dare NOT ask what the surgery was for

The shame

All he had was a compound fracture of his arm that needed some screws put in. Why are you checking out his underwear Doctor ?

He didn’t listen to his mother.

And in an ER, that is saying something.

TMI.

Reminds me of an old comedy routine: The man is in a car crash and is in the hospital. His mother comes to see him and asks the staff, “Did he have on clean underwear?” “Yes, we found it in the glove compartment.”

Is that his mom or his wife?

Today underwear is also being discussed on Frazz:

August 5th is National Underwear Day.

Some accidents and some health emergencies can sometimes cause “accidents” to occur in someone’s underwear.

You know, we can’t say our moms didn’t warn us. I can hear mine yelling now…

“make sure you’re wearing clean underwear, in case you’re in an accident! … and you know I don’t count that ‘inside-out’ thing!”

He obviously didn’t listen to his mother. Mom always would ask if you had on clean underwear in case something happened to you.

So far Bleeb is doing much better than last week.

Skid marks from the crash were in his underwear. How odd.

That disgrace will shame his family for 10 generations.

Am I wrong in thinking only people of a certain age got this one right away?

Avoid dirty underwear easily by not wearing any. Easy peasy!

GROSS!!!

Commando! (Problem solved)

I’d crap too after all that trauma

I really wonder sometimes what happened to make parents of that by-gone age worry so much about clean underwear in cases of emergency.

Every woman’s bigger fear.

If that’s his mother she must be mortified.

A worse nightmare for a mom than surviving the operation.

I guess the anesthesia wore off too soon.

Obviously, he never heeded his mother’s warning to always wear clean underwear in case of accidents. I heard that many times.

Now, what did mother always tell us?…

So she is the mom I take it.

Does anybody actually have underwear on when they’re in surgery? Usually, one has to take everything off for that.

At least it wasn’t a thong!
