Florida man loses suit over "defective" underwear
A Florida man has failed to win compensation for a “defective” pair of underwear. Albert Freed, 62, claims that over a two-week vacation in Hawaii, the fly flap of his briefs rubbed his genitals like “sandpaper belts.” Asked by a judge why he didn’t notice sooner, the 285-pound Freed said he cannot see his own genitals, and he didn’t ask his wife to look because it might “ruin her vacation.”
