A little context for the following conversation between my son and one of his friends. I swim a ton during the summer. I swim laps almost single day and, as a former competitive swimmer on a summer club, that means wearing a Speedo. A trunk style suit just doesn't cut it when I'm cruising back and forth for an hour. I'm also in pretty good shape and wear a Speedo far better than many men my age. Last weekend I went swimming with my son and was splashing around in my Speedo. One of his friends happened to be there and the following exchange took place.
Friend: Why is your dad wearing his underpants in the pool?
TLO: Those are waterproof underpants, dude.
As one might imagine, I'll never wear a swimsuit again. From this day forward, I will always head for the pool wearing my waterproof underpants.
