Stumble It!
To Pee or Not to Pee?
The Debenham's group in the UK has today launched a range of underpants for left-handed men. Titter ye not - pointing percy at the porcelain has been a difficult task for southpaws wearing the traditional Y-Fronts since their introduction back in 1935.
The problem has been that the opening allowing gentleman to release their appendage has traditionally been on the right hand side of the garment. Thus a task easily and readily performed by ninety percent of the world's men (who are right handed) has until now been an embarrassing feat of prestidigitation for those ten percent who prefer their left hand.
The situation is succinctly summed up by a Debenham's spokesperson, who explained: "Left handed men have to reach much further into their pants, performing a Z-shaped manoeuvre through two 180 degree angles before achieving the result that right handed men perform with ease."
The new range of underpants, from UK-based Hom, features a horizontal opening rather than the traditional vertical right-hand biased opening, finally giving left-handed men equality with their right-handed brothers.
Phew - what a relief!
