We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
hahahahaha
or should i say: (laugh)
I totally don't get this. I can't imagine the context in which it was written, nor what is going on with the response part at the bottom. What is that second word? "Bra"?
It says, "Nice bra you've got on...but I mean...come on! Those undies?"
Sounds like some kind of comedy sketch making fun of "celebrity" interviews.Òpen mike night, maybe?
Maybe the writers bought some of those "X-ray glasses" they used to advertise in comic books.
Semper ubi sub ubi.

are those two lines whited out or something? why is the paper a different colour?
I envision this guy at home writing out the top two thirds of this on several index cards and sticking them into his shirt pocket before heading to the pub. After a few drinks, he is feeling beginning to feel attractive, so he picks out a woman, pulls out a card, scribbles something at the bottom of the card and hands it to her. Expecting her to laugh at his clever wit, he is repeatedly disappointed as he gets a drink thrown in his face. Works every time.
Is this a screenplay?
I agree about the upper and lower case letters. I didn't notice; they were so subtle.
This makes me wonder why undergarments are more exciting to people than actual nudity.
What does that mean "I have a special eye for underwear?"
Someone is claiming to be the underwear maven?
This almost sounds like a transcript of a very weird conversation (see excellent examples at overheardlines.blogspot.com). Or it could be two friends having a funny conversation/writing an odd story/making fun of someone on an index card? Not having any pub experience (hello, I'm under 21) I can only guess that my ideas were probably not applicable...
@ gorgon: because there's still more to see. People like to exercise their curiosity. I think it's also a suspense thing-- look at all the strip clubs ono reality TV shows.
That David Beckham underwear ad for Armani...
Now that is some nice underwear
@Lolita: David Beckham makes my nostrils flare. Dayum! I found his Armani underwear ad to be very, um, appealing.
Whew! Is it hot in here?
...I gotta go to confession now.
And I'm not Catholic.
I know someone who likes panty lines. I thought he was the "Underpants Man"
There was a Very Minor 80's "Christian rock" song a friend of mine was addicted to, called "Renaissance Man". Since seeing this find the words have rewritten themselves from this:
He's a Renaissance Man (Renaissance Man), tearing himself from the Rock
to this:
He's the Underpants Man (Underpants Man),
tearing the pants from the box...
I'm very tired. I think I need to go to bed now.
sick in tired.. funny- when I saw Underwear Man, the ditty that popped into my head was The Rubberband Man (the Spinners, not TI)
Hey, y’all prepare yourself
For the Underwear man
You never heard a sound
Like the snap of that elastic band..
He's bound to lose control
Cuz Underwear man he can see ..
granny panties or thongs... he sees it all. (close enough.)
(where are all our Found-inspired lyricists today? it's simply not a skill I possess.)
@ Pastor Z ... I think you're on target with your analysis, except that you make getting drinks thrown in your face sound like a bad thing. Enough of those -- as long as you know how to hold your head the right way so you can get most of the alcohol to run into your mouth -- and you can get drunk for free.
Um, I've heard that anyway; not that I'd know, really, or anything.
This writer has the same style of handwriting as mine. I swear we studied the same handwriting method book. Only I do not put lower case n's where there should be upper case n's, and for that matter, my n's are a lot less slopey.
@ Librarian & Pastor - I'm with you guys on this one.
I'm thinking this card, and several others, fluttered to the ground as he was tossed out the front door of the pub after some chick started screaming at him. On this particular night he led off with "Underpants Man" but got overconfident and skipped right to "Amateur Gynecologist Guy"
@Hiplainsdrifter--what about "bikini inspector"?
I love inside jokes. I'd like to be a part of one someday. - Micheal Scott
Looks like a girl's handwriting to me.
I imagine some girl writing down remarks made by some stupid boy who thinks he is the bee's knees in the underwear appreciation department.
Maybe the scrawled comment at the bottom is someone else adding to the 'overheard quotes' list.
Or maybe the stupid boy himself, who just doesn't get it (and still thinks they think he is the bee's etc.).
They're inventing a new superhero and jotting down notes... and one person is significantly drunker than the other. (I love the first person's handwriting. Envy!)
