I think I've figured out why I've been so grumpy lately. My bum has been itching like crazy. I don't think all the soap rinsed out of that last batch of Levi's I washed. I couldn't figure out why I had a rash on my bum and inner thighs, I hadn't switched brands of adult diapers recently, but I spilled a drink on my pants today and they sort of lathered up on me. I've switched over to a pair of shorts and you'll be happy to know my bum is now free of welts.
the multiple scratches are making me grouchy now.

Do you wear underwear?

Or were those also soapy?

Why am I asking this?
 
All I can think about is the * * all over your keyboard.
 
At least it isn't the hair on your anus making your balloon hole itch.
 
Perhaps you're just missing something, tribdog.
 
Underwear. what a funny sounding word. Never heard it before.

I prefer boxers, myself. But that's just me.
 
Maybe your trousers have rabies. It could happen. Causes all these marks all over you, froths up. Sure sign methinks.
 
What the hell is going on here?

If you're ever stuck in some thick undergrowth, in your underwear, don't stop and start thinking of what other words have "under" in them, because that's probably the first sign of jungle madness.
