Men Rejoice! Self-cleaning Underwear

It has finally happened, this article is proof.

The new technology attaches nanoparticles to clothing fibers using microwaves. Then, chemicals that can repel water, oil and bacteria are directly bound to the nanoparticles. These two elements combine to create a protective coating on the fibers of the material.

This coating both kills bacteria, and forces liquids to bead and run off.

This technology is awesome!

"Run off" to where? Thinking about that has ruined my lunch.

My Ma always told me to clean myself properly. Seldom will you find a skid mark in my bbd's. And if your thing has a drip, you should get that checked.

Jeff Owens, one of the scientists who worked to develop the process, said, "During Desert Storm, most casualties were from bacterial infections—not accidents or friendly fire. We treated underwear for soldiers who tested them for several weeks and found they remained hygienic. They also helped clear up some skin complaints."

Hmmm, when my cousin was sent to Iraq in the Second Gulf War (before they established their base camps), he said he and his friends wound up "going commando" because there was no where for them to bathe or wash clothes and their underwear was just rotting off them. He asked for old sheets and pillow cases because they didn't have enough and they didn't last long under the conditions they were in. Guess it might not be cost-effective for the military to issue "self cleaning" underwear to the soldiers yet.

If laundry did itself, then why do we still need women?

I knew that, yet I couldn't find a way to fit you in, since you weren't commenting on not commenting.

Anyway - I don't know that I could wear the appellation "gentleman" particularly well either.

Now, "gutter" - THERE'S a term we can all agree upon, yes? (Wallow-wallow-wallow...)
