Talking about underwear, I have to say I am quite baffled about the places they end up. Walking with the dogs along the side of the lake this morning and Jill dropped the ball in some long grass on the water's edge. I went to get it and found a pair of underpants. Huh? This place is far from houses and you're not allowed to camp there. The mind boggles.
When I was living on campus, there were frequently items of underclothing that turned up on well-traversed routes. I expect they dropped off washing baskets on the way through, but I was often left wondering how these things could sit there for months and never be claimed by anyone when the owner probably lived there and walked past them every day. I guess no one wants to be seen fielding a pair of underpants.
