One very blonde officer is shown standing in what looks distinctly like what we would call white boxer briefs. I also remember they had these in sears and penney's catalogs in the late 50s (I was there) and they were referred to as "mid-lengths" or something like that.rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407319830256694273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311934909029155315.post-75485750499183576432014-11-30T10:16:25.069-08:002014-11-30T10:16:25.069-08:00Ask and you shall receive.Ask and you shall receive.adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296638267501189558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311934909029155315.post-17857842990935413402014-11-30T00:52:24.635-08:002014-11-30T00:52:24.635-08:00OMG, thanks for the link, I luv u!

That's why we called boxers grandpa underwear back in the 80's.
