Local community groups, church organizations, other misguided folks have pledged 'Underwear Drives' to help ameliorate the plight of underwear-less inmates, end the shortage in, uh, shorts.

"The practice of administering used underwear that inmates must wear multiple days without washing raises serious hygiene concerns," a report issued by the group states. "(The Department of Corrections) must find a way to provide sufficient clothing for inmates."

Boo frickin' hoo! Tell that to our soldiers in the field. I've gone several days with the same clothing during field exercises.

McClean Stevenson, Col. Potter on MASH, said when he was in Navy boot camp the Chief punished them all by not allowing them to change underwear. After about a week they begged him to let them change. He gave in and said “Okay, you guys can change underwear. Stevenson! You change with Smith. Smith! You change with Jones. Jones!.....”

Don't do the crime if you can't do the grime.

Quite seriously, though, I think every day each inmate should change his underwear . . . he changes with his cell mate, that guy changes with his cellmate, etc.

And that cell changes their underwear with the next cell's underwear, etc.

Kinda' chokes me up that they're being so mistreated.

He said the underwear shortage is a symptom of larger problems such as overcrowding in the state's prisons.

Overcrowding?

And an underwear shortage?

We MUST release all these prisoners. NOW!

Dirty underwear? I guess these folks never went to college. I hate to admit it, but I hate to employ the smell test on more than a few mornings.

They can live with it.

They can get at least four days from two pairs.

Pair one, worn normal day 1, inside out day 2.

Pair two, worn normal day 3, inside out day 4.

By then you can wear pair one again, and then inside out one more time.

I seem to remember,from years ago, the clinton’s listing used (though probably laundered ... probably) underwear donated as part of their charitable giving. Maybe they have something to chip in. Especially since it is for the state where the democrat farm team is in training.

How can we treat them like aminals? Why don’t we all send them our used underwear so they can right this wrong?

My Dad used to tell this joke:

An Army Platoon was having a tough go of it, but then news started spreading through the ranks that they’d at LEAST have a change of skivvies to brighten up their miserable existence...

The soldiers were called to formation, and the First Sergeant announced the change in skivvies and then said while pointing:

“YOU change with HIM, and YOU change with HIM, and YOU change with HIM...”

Still cracks me up and grosses me out at the same time, which my Dad is famous for in his jokes, LOL! :)
