it's the only explanation

girls, how do you feel about your panty hose? okay, all you older girls then. i guess the young ones don't wear panty hose anymore. but anyhow, are you satisfied?

to me, it seems that some short, misogynistic, puny little guy is sneaking around the various panty hose factories and tweaking their equipment. i mean, what other explanation is there for putting on one leg and having it fit fine, then putting on the other leg and finding that the toe is 90 degrees off. i mean, really. it NEVER goes on my foot in a nice, comfortable way. so i have to twist and maneuver the hose as i'm pulling it up, and i always wonder if that little guy is having a good laugh.

    Where did panty hose come from? And what are they supposed to do? Just smooth out the surface coloration of the legs?

  2. actually i would have to do a wikipedia on that. it's official office-wear for the feds which means it's more formal than bare-legs and more business-like. i've never understood how some women could stand to wear shoes without hose or socks, since feet sweat so much (more sweat glands per square inch than anyplace else on the body! true!). and yes, it gives uniform color, but mainly i think it was intended to 'cover the legs' for decency's sake. seems twisted since you can see right through them, but 'back when' expectations and standards were different. and even though you'll see old-fashioned dress codes in court rooms, times are a-changin'.

    The twisted panyhose might be a fed technique so people don't know if you are coming or going.

    Twisted is bad, but baggy is worse. I believe it was Erma Bombeck who was so upset because someone told her that her panty hose were sagging....she wasn't wearing any.
