Timmy : Hey do you guys sell those old timey red
long underwear that cowboys and prospectors use to wear, or you see like
In the old skool cartoons ?
Store Clerk : ah yes you
mean the Union Suit would you like me to measure you up
With have some in the back ?
Timmy : hell no ! That old fashioned obsolete
crap farmers wore , they are considered comical relief and with the rear flap is also associated with toilet
humor,
I'd rather get a separate 2 peice like a mordern day man where I could mix and match
em as well as easier to take off
If I gotta take a shit or a piss with all those
Buttons .
