Underwear Story #1 - Taquila

Yes, that's right I have enough underwear stories to entertain that they need to be numbered! Sad....but true.

A few years ago I bought a pair of underwear and upon bringing them home I emptied my purchases on my bed. When they fell out I noticed the sticker on them that typically would say 'Inspected by #10' had another sticker that looked a little different. As I looked closer the sticker had a music note on it! What?! A music note?! Yes, a music note. Well, obviously I hadn't inspected the undergarments as closely as I thought, but, heck - they are underwear.....no one is looking at them but me!

I finally found the little metal music creator sewn in a little fabric square along the waistline, which I guess is protecting it from water and soap since I have washed them (obviously) and they still work. So what does the music sound like? What song does it play? Yes, of course,....it plays the PeeWee Herman song Tequila. Sing it with me now....de, de, dede, de, de, de, deeee (repeat). Now, upon discovering that these are no ordinary undergarments I don't exactly wear them all the time. I used to designate them as the - 'I haven't done any laundry and I've literally got nothing to wear underwear'. Which, that has happened once in a while but since my last 'incident' I pretty much just keep them in my drawer to which I can say that I do have singing underpants.

Now, the incident happened at one of my previous jobs and with my manager's manager and to whom I haven't really seen since. One day I was working away on a project and my manager sits right beside me but his manager came by my desk to see if we could meet in one of the small meeting rooms to be appraised of the current project. I collected my work and proceeded behind him to a nearby room and sat down. At that point nothing had happened and wasn't even thinking about what I was wearing since it wasn't really applicable to the task at hand. Not until.....well, I don't remember if I coughed or had my arms crossed and pressed into my stomach or SOMETHING but sure enough....Pee Wee Herman jumped out of his cage! Fear and trembling came over me and I tried to cover up the Tequila song with a coughing attack and trying to clear my throat and even to the point of me trying to talk louder to explain my productive work to a man sitting a foot away from me! Thankfully the song didn't last long but it did seem like forever and considering we were in a 10x10 office with not even the mechanical system running...it was pretty quiet in there.

Whether he heard it, I'm not sure or whether he was just confused about the scene I had just acted out, who knows. If he did hear it he might've just tried to ignore it like if I had farted and everyone knew who it was but no one wants to acknowledge where the sound came from. Regardless, it happened and I can live to tell about it.
