I don't think so, Tim.
 
A man in a bra is only fun if he's a) found the bra under his roommate's bed and doesn't know who it belongs to b) puts it on, stuffs it with socks, and runs around the dorm demanding to know who it belongs to and c) gets disappointed because no one will admit to owning the bra he's wearing.

I'm sure you had to be there, but I can't imagine a man wearing a bra ever beating that moment.

And no, the bra wasn't mine.

I already used this in another thread, but it's appropriate here. Two guys are in the locker room at the athletic club. The first guy drops his pants to reveal that he's wearing panties. "How long have you been wearing those?" the second guy asks.The first guy says, "Ever since my wife found them in the glove compartment."
 
WOW! That's a good one! Poor guy...

OMG..that is soooo funny!!!
 
Slightly off topic, but only kinda--

They're not PC items, but there are Chef Success clothing items (including underwear) at my Cafe Press store.

Not OT if you're keeping your inventory in the glove compartment.
 
I'm not keeping inventory at all. Except for some buttons I still have at home.

Cafe Press is a supply-on-demand company. They take orders and then print the items as needed.

I also wanted to state that I'm not making any money on these items.

This is like deja vu all over again...
 
Yeah- but I don't want to take a chance that someone thinks I'm raking in the bucks on these items. You know...

DH says that all the time. He also likes "multiply redundant."

I saw a thong on there that KG would probably like to wear. Tyra Banks was supposed to have someone on her show that told why wearing a thong may not be healthy!! Sorry I missed that one! I grew up during the time when getting a wedgie (aka snuggie) was a bad thing. I can't imagine spending money on something that gave me a wedgie!!!
Maybe if VIP had these in stock, they wouldn't have been fired. Somehow I don't see Doris giving her stamp of approval on this concept!!:eek:
