Timmy : Hey do you guys sell those old timey red long underwear that cowboys and prospectors use to wear, or you see like
In the old skool cartoons ?

Store Clerk : ah yes you mean the Union Suit would you like me to measure you up
With have some in the back ?

Timmy : hell no ! That old fashioned obsolete crap farmers wore , they are considered comical relief and with the rear flap is also associated with toilet humor,

I'd rather get a separate 2 peice like a mordern day man where I could mix and match em as well as easier to take off

If I gotta take a shit or a piss with all those
Buttons .
