My Clothes Posted by Andrew S on Monday March 5, 2001.
Habits are useful things.
I'm not talking about habits like peeling off scabs or exposing yourself to schoolgirls, but everyday rituals such as the morning crap and taking the dog for a walk. These routine activities provide comforting stability despite life's turbulence, acting as shock absorbers for the monster-truck wheels of modernity. However, there are certain habits that have become so ingrained in our consciousness that we do not even realise their impracticality. Things like eating peas with a knife and fork, shaving, and giving money to charity are all pointless endeavours, but many still plough ahead and do them anyway. The horrendous custom to which I am referring, of course, is the act of wearing underwear.
