For when you’re “on the go…”
Those of you who are new to More Cowbell might have missed The Undie Chronicles…
You may be unaware that when the Undie-verse speaks we will ALWAYS listen. (Also, we like to get our laugh on every Monday.)
August McLaughlin sent me the link for today’s post. (Like me, she thinks Undies are one of the funniest damn things in the world. 🙂 )
I’ve been sitting on these for a while *if you know what I mean*…I’ll share with you tomorrow why I chose today to whip these babies out.
Not only are they currently 28% off at Amazon, the “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought…” section made me laugh.
Introducing the…
Accoutrements Emergency Underpants Dispenser
I love these people! They’re all about being prepared. Their product information reads:
One pair of Emergency Underpants is great, but what if, um, you like, uh, have another emergency? Don’t fret, we’ve got you covered. These 4″ (10.2 cm) tall boxes look a lot like tissue boxes, but instead of tissues they dispense underpants.
[Oh my God, I am dying over here…]
If you want to be extra safe you should keep one by your bedside, one at work and one in the car. Each box contains five pairs of disposable unisex underpants that will fit most adults.
Note: My husband is going to be doing his Disaster Recovery Happy Dance when he finds out about these. Wowzers!
And as promised, you’ll adore the Top 5 “Also Bought” products:
I can’t decide if I’m most enamored of the Shut The Hell Up Gum or the Maybe You Touched Your Genitals Hand Sanitizer. (I’ll put a poll at the bottom for y’all to weigh in.)
The products are just one huge whallop of crack-me-up dipped in serious bedazzlement. I don’t even know where to begin so I’m turning it over to you.
First the vote:
I can’t wait to hear how much or little you like these products. My Monday just wouldn’t be the same without y’all heaping humor in my comments section.
What purposes can you think of for this Emergency Underwear Dispenser? Do you plan to add this to your own disaster recovery kit? Enquiring minds always want to know these things here at More Cowbell!

OMG, MYTYG Hand Sanitizer?! I don’t think I want to meet the person who thought THAT up!

The hand sanitizer is beyond funny, and the canned unicorn meat is priceless (does it look like SPAM?)
But I’m going to have to get a box of the emergency underwear. The whole reason for me to get this box would be so I could gift it to somebody on my squad, where I know it would be placed PROUDLY on his desk. Then I am going to grab a melting Baby Ruth candy bar and cram it down under the first pair.
My hope is to get some kind of Caddyshack-esque result when he pulls out the first pair of undies. A little childish? Perhaps. But how often do you get a chance to scream “Doodie” while pointing at a a coworker holding a pair of soiled emergency undies?

You’re exactly right, Zack. You should never pass up that chance to yell “Doodie!”
I think while you’re on your shopping spree, you should get some of the Maybe You Touched Your Genitals hand sanitizer for your OWN desk. That would be a great conversation starter, don’t you think? 😀

Ha ha ha ha, that would be an amazing conversation started. That might also cut down on the number of people that stop by to see me. Nothing screams “don’t touch” like a bottle of Maybe You Touched Your Genitals hand sanitizer.

As to the emergency underpants, here’s where they lost me: “unisex underpants that will fit most adults.” Seriously, since when have our derrieres all been close enough to the same size to exchange underwear!!! One-size-fits-all undies does not breed confidence in the product! They at least need a S-M-L plan before I buy. (Also, having a line of these in black would be nice.) Hilarious stuff, Jenny. And kudos to August!

I know!!! Maybe she’s already found it and I missed it, but it’s just priceless.
I completely agree with you about the Undie sizing. I always tell my hubby, I coulda never married a man with a butt smaller than mine. Ergo, there shouldn’t be any possible way for us to wear the same underpants!

Okay. The Maybe You Touched Your Genitals Hand Sanitizer made me chuckle. That could be a good marketing ploy. Take plain old alcohol gel, make a snazzy label and charge $6.
The emergency underwear has me both amused and puzzled. There’s only one emergency I can think of: incontinence. If that’s a regular problem, the sufferer doesn’t need these. He or she needs Depends. But, if I had some sort of problem where I needed emergency underwear on a regular basis, I’d probably need the hand sanitizer, too. 😉

During the annual exams? The only comment I’ve found honest and helpful to the Doc is the question about whether or not I’ve been doing regular breast exams. I deploy my truthful answer: “Yup! At a stop sign on my way over here. That’s my regular routine.”

OK! First off, I’ve obviously been WAY too busy…If you are too busy to read Undie Chronicles…you’re just too damn busy!!!
Secondly, if I ever and I mean EVER, require an underwear dispenser in my car or at work…it will be a time to celebrate! The fun I’d have in traffic lobbing those disposable dirties out the car window…or yelling over the cubicle wall “Sorry guys! It’s just me I’ll change them in a minute…just on the phone right now!” LOL! Oh the “poo”-sibilities are endless and the mind screwing I’d be dishing out would be epic!!!
Thirdly, That MYTYG product is genious – because Natalie was right I would be coming out of the mall bathroom and her comment about using “no hands” would be so correct. My reply would have been “yeah you’re right! I was holding it with 4 fingers and pissing on 3….better give me a double squirt…pump away my beauty!” Then the mall people would all stop like a flash mob – and we’d have a new post for Natalie to blog about.
