Boxers Lose Match

Debenhams have announced that sales of Y-fronts are up 35% during the recession. And, indeed, the last time the Y-front outsold the Boxer was during the last recession. This seems somewhat strange. WHy should a recession affect the style of undergarment. I ahve a theory. When things are going well, then people feel free and easy. Therefore they like their bits to be free and easy as well, leading to boxers or even commando style. In a recession everything feels rather tighter, rather more restricted, so the underwear follows suit.
