Frilly Knickers

Are you missing frilly knickers
Trimmed with lace for city slickers?
Japan's panty line
Will lead to a shrine*
Blessed with love and local liquors!


*Everywhere we lived, my wife's 
frilly knickers disappeared from the 
clothesline, so I LOL when NHK reported 
a Japanese shrine with a "Drop Your Drawers
Here!" slot for women to stuff their panties 
so a priest could sniff out appropriate prayers 
and ablutions to ensure pregnancy.  2,000-years, 
and Christians couldn't think of that?

In Helena, Montana, knickers are imprinted, "Liquor up front, poker in the rear" . . . . .

Absolutely bizarre! Hmmm...I'll bet they are only interested in getting women's panties, too.

that is such a strange custom, rico! doesn't quite explain your the disappearance of your wife's knickers, though. someone must have a whole collection of many women's panties for their own bizarre reasons...

It really irked her when whackos would pinch the whole wash! I suppose it made them happy, but it certainly did not contribute to her happiness! Aloha!
