My mom's laughed for the first time in a very long time...

[Trevor]

  and it's all thanks to Conan's gift.

I took the gifted underpants home last week and gave the envelope to her: she looked at it and said "Don't tell me this is what your friend in the US sent you?"

I said yes, she reached inside, pulled le honderpants out and started laughing and I don't just mean a chuckle, I mean a damn good belly laugh.

She said that I should thank you, Conan, so I do.

Well..........I've always truely wanted to make people happy, but I really went below the belt this time. Again your shorts are the things of legend around these parts. 

I'm really glad everyone over there has a great sense of humor (or otherwise the whole thing could have gone terribly wrong). 

Wasn't sure how that was going to turn out, but I had to dispose of those "42's", and this was my grand opportunity.

Us South Africans (and particularly those who live here but were born in Zimbabwe like I was) are well known for our sense of humor: we need it to get through the bad times and it works.

It's probably the first time anyone has stood back for a moment to the sight of fresh underwear.

If such a thing happened to me, my father wouldn't speak to me for a good long time and would force me to disown Conan :P

Yea, I didn't really think before sending it, but you know he gave us the mailing address and I really didn't want to throw away all that fresh cotton. The rest now belongs to the badmovies.org forum archives.

Yes, fresh, very fresh. [Sniffing noises, sounds of Trevor fainting]

At least my mom was able to laugh after her partner and soulmate of 52 years passed away and the gift was therefore appreciated and relevant. It made her laugh and me laugh too, so thank you, Conan.

There's nothing like a pair of undies to cheer someone up.

I'm glad your mother has such a sense of humor, and I pray she stays as happy

If I got underwear in the mail from anyone on this site my mom would ban me from the computer for life.

I think the underwear ordeal came way before i joined this board back in January or december; so i'm not sure what all that is about but having had the priviledge of banter with trevor, i'm sure its hilarious; anyways, i'm glad that your mother had a good laugh, i'm sure she needed it after all she's been through lately. Best of luck to you and your mom!

Thanks, SisterGrace and Mr Briggs, for the good wishes.

I have always found the word "underpants" to be very funny for some reason ~ it probably comes from me listening to The Goon Show as a kid and hearing Spike Milligan say things like "The man is here with us, wearing his new underpants" and "That man can't even afford teeth, let alone money" etc. That always cracked me up and still does, so the legacy of the underpants is still with me.

That's a great story!

Karma to both Conan and Trevor. That really makes me appreciate the times when humor and kindness show up in the world.
