Since we know you sold your only pair of boxer shorts to Tom with your too
small drysuit, I guess you are diving "in the buff" under that new drysuit!
The babe's on the boats will be checking out the fit of that new drysuit a
lot closer now!

I think at the very least DUI owes you some video footage of those Samoan
factory workers making your undergarment. Are you going down there for a
"custom" fit?
