AS underwear sales go up - so does the economy.. :)

Underwear Sales Increase, Suggesting A Rebounding Economy

WASHINGTON -- There is an old saying among economists that the best way to assess the state of the economy is to look at people's underwear.

OK, there's no such saying. But when he served as chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan did use the sales of male underpants as a way to take the temperature of the country's economic well being. And if the Maestro were to take a peek right now, he'd find evidence that things are gradually improving.

The NPD Group, Inc., a leading market research company, has shown an uptick in sales of men's underwear over the past year. Between Aug. 2010 and Aug. 2011, sales for all men's "underwear bottoms" were roughly $2.074 billion. In the period between Aug. 2011 and Aug. 2012, that number was $2.194 billion. That represents a 6 percent jump in sales from year to year.

The main reason for increase here in Ca is people are continuosly crapping their pants everytime they pay for gas or food.

Unlike some, I have the wisdom to not go where I know I will be demonized.

So, I値l keep it to myself. But nice try, tempting me into being bad. :P

Have you seen how Ann Romney dresses ? I would be Mitt would impose a knee length dress code if elected...
Now Michelle - she is a fine dresser...

Style is according to one痴 taste.

Not an issue that is even worth addressing. Seems like an attempt to distract from the thread's topic. :rolleyes:
