We now pause for a brief holiday

It's closer to you than any of your friends. It's always ready to support you, no matter what. And it's always got your back, usually quite literally. Today is National Underwear Day. Wear it proudly.

Sure, a more cynical person than myself, assuming one exists, might take note of the fact that holiday founder FreshPair.com -- in an amazing, soap-opera-like coincidence -- just happens to sell underwear for a living. But if you go down that road you'll start thinking that Valentine's Day is "just" to sell candy and cards, or that Christmas is "just" an excuse for your family's annual religious and/or secular discrimination lawsuit. And this is true, but they're also so much more than just that. So why not honor your undies? Especially after what yours have to put up with.

After all, Americans spend more than $13 billion each year on intimate apparel -- Pamela Anderson alone accounts for barely a quarter of that -- and yet it's the category of clothing you think the least about.

If, that is, you're a guy.

A note: Never use the phrase "matching intimates" around my wife, or I can't be held responsible for the consequences.

I imagine it would have something to do with an involuntary tattoo. [Wink]

Chris, I read this aloud to Dave, both of us laughing. Thumbs up!

Favorite line?

Actually I think she wants to tie someone up with about a thousand brastrap extenders.

Awesome as always, Chris.

I was happy my editor let the link go through unchallenged [Smile]

For the record, Teresa's under-the-bust measurement is 39 and her bust measurement is 47. All of those sizes listed were actually produced by various store and site charts.
