Hey, did Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Moses, any of that crowd, any of them bother to mention that boxer shorts fit funny when you put ’em on backwards? Hanh?
I think Buddha would subsume this under the whole existence-is-suffering thing. And Jesus might have covered this in the Book of Thomas, I'll have to go check...
I think the closest he gets is "Watch therefore, and always wear clean undergarments, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein thou might have an accident." Which he totally swiped from Hillel.
Q: How did Rav Hillel and Rav Shammai differ on the putting on of pants? A: Rav Shammai held that the wearing of pants was a unitary requirement, and they should be put on all at once if possible. Rav Hillel disagreed, saying that great learned men were permitted to put on their pants one leg at a time, just like everyone else.
