I'd like to point out that that my diveshop, Lynnhaven Dive Center, went to
bat for me over this issue and pounded DUI until they corrected their
mistake. LDC measured me correctly. I also called and bitched and moaned to
DUI (I emailed but with no response). I found a person at DUI who was very
nice and went out of her way to call up my diveshop and make sure that
everything was straightened out.

As yet I don't have the underwear but DUI has assured me that they are
working diligently. As we speak the polypro plants are being harvested by
migrant workers and lovingly spun on looms operated by topless Samoan
virgins.

Until then then I have to suffer the dangers of diving in the shark infested
waters of the gulf stream, surrounded by snarling packs of man-eating sand
tiger sharks.
