Ratio of Tea towels to underpants

maltingsaudio

Helping Mrs M with the laundry this morning and realised we have more tea towels than I have under wear ! What is the correct ratio?

Depends on how quickly you get each dirty.

Ratios aren’t everything. Heathrow has something like seven WH Smiths for every runway. Does that make it an airport? Or just a bookstore with good transport links?

Admiral Lord Nelson was once caught in a ménage a trois - that’s Horatio of two to one.

Are you sure they’re tea towels and not loincloths?

I must have a 4 to 1 ratio in favour of underwear.

Sounds fair. I change tea towels every 7 days and underpants every fortnight.

It's the old college rule - whip your pants off and throw them at the wall every day. If they stick it's time to change.

In parts of Murica it's common to roll up a tea towel and stuff it down your undercrackers to imply you've got a big todger.
That's why I have an equal number of tea towels and underpants.

I've definitely got more underwear than tea towels.

Although having said that, I've got a "batch" of underpants which are reaching the end of their natural lifecycle and I'm determined to keep using them until they all disintegrate (still washing them between wears, of course).  There were 12 pairs bought at the same time and I'm down to the last 4, the other 8 have had to be binned.

(I am supplementing the old pants with new ones, not just constantly rotating the 4 old ones).

You didn't need to know that, did you...?

Hopefully not whilst still wearing them.

Er, what would be the ratio in Scotland?

Is anything worn under the kilt?
Nae, it's all in perfect working order.

I’ve got about 9 pairs of boxers. 

No idea what a tea towel is even used for. Should I have one?
