PSA: 7 years is too long to keep your boxer shorts

I was listening to an episode of NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me last week and they came across a story that compelled me to put out a public service announcement on Simpler Man.

Turns out that men are wearing their underwear for 7 years on average. At first I said, what the hell? 7 years?

Then I got to thinking... I probably have a pair or two that old, and I didn't even notice. Gentlemen, I'm sure most of us have the means to replace our underwear every couple of years, so after work today, let's toss some of our ol' trusties, and keep our drawers fresh.
