Why do fathers walk around in their underwear?
Does your father do that?

Mine did.

So did all my friends fathers.

1. Oh man that is so gross he still does it..
My neighbor came in one day and he was running from the kitchen into the bedroom (passing the front door & living room) so she didnt see him in his undies :rofl: she still jacks him about it.

3. My favorite memory is bringing a friend home, to see
my dad in front of the bedroom window, using a circular saw in his underwear.

In all fairness, he worked 2nd shift, and was about to get in the shower when my mom asked him to saw something. But still, quite a moment.

2. Yes, he did!
Usually in the summer when he would work in the garden, then come in about 2:30 - 3:00 and take a shower then sit around in his underware to cool off. :-) He worried me because, especially in later years, his face was a horrible purple red. It would take him a couple of hours to return to a normal hue. Turns out to have been justified. He never did get his BP under control. *sigh*

LOL! Thanks for the memory CW. I hadn't thought about that in years.

22. one night, several of us were sitting around a friend's house talking
Edited on Fri Feb-10-06 08:37 PM by CatWoman
me and three of my sisters and my brother.

We were all sitting on our friend's parents car.

I was about 10.

It got late, and my dad came looking for us.

In his underwear!!

We were around the street from our house.

Our friends used to rag on us about that all the time.

It was pretty funny.

As you say, thanks for the memories :hi:

23. My dad never did either.
He always wore a robe. But my brother had no shame when it came to strutting around in his whitey-tighties.

9. Hey, mine did too!
In fact, he chased a burglar down the street in his underwear at 3 o'clock in the morning when I was about 15. I was horrified.

14. If you were 7
and he chased someone out of his car instead of the house, would you still be horrified? My poor kids....

20. Yes. My brother chases people out of his car, but his outfit is
more frightening than underwear.

13. OK, I just checked with miz t.
and she says I didn't.
I didn't think I had, but my memory is not nearly as good as hers is.

What I did do is not make a big deal about it if our daughter happened to walk in and see me nude while changing clothes or in the shower or whatever.

We have enough hangups about nude bodies without getting all hysterical about it.
Just MHO.
;-)

17. Guilty. I do, and my dad and grandpa did too.
What's the big deal? Shrinkage?

It's usually because I forgot to wash my other pair of pants. Guilty.

My dad had Alzheimer's and he walked around with his package open. I had to tell him he was scaring the ladies (Mom, wife, daughter).

I miss my dad. He was funny as hell.

That's what I was told at least.

32. My dad didn't even wear underwear until I was about 9
He finally began holding a rolled up newspaper in front of his privates.
Nice, huh.
