Industrial-Strength Undies

In today's Dinette Set, we are offered three equally unconvincing options in interpreting the panel:
  • Other items in view (trophies, socks, shoes, twist ties) are equally embarrassing, therefore singling out the garters and bras for special shame makes little sense.
  • Selling to the consignment shop is equally embarrassing as selling at a garage sale, therefore does not address the embarrassment issue.
  • The author forgot to include the punchline.

I cannot even fathom the kind of person that would label a box "Huge old torn and stained bras and girdles." The artist's mania to label everything (including pockets with words like Kleenex), caused by her inability to draw objects so that they are recognizable, has officially reached the psychotic stage.

I'm not saying that some women (definitely not all) might not have a box of old underwear. How likely is it that that underwear was put in that box unwashed (thus stained)? How likely is it that said box is labeled as containing torn and stained girdles? That's where I'm coming from.

Huge old box of torn, stained bras and girdles, does not mean they are unwashed--only that the eleastic is worn out--bra straps are broken, hooks gone etc. and the stains is probably from deodrant, or an unwarranted accident that we can't mention --I am sure Millard you have "skid marks" in some of your old shorts that have never completely washed out---maybe you use them for dusting cloths? Heaven forbid!!!!!!
