Giant Underwear Saved the Day!

Jenny Marsey knew that her giant underwear would come in handy one day. Like putting out a fire, for instance:

Jenny Marsey’s size 18-20 cotton pants were grabbed to cover a frying pan fire at her home in Hartlepool.

Her son and nephew were trying to fry some bread when the blaze broke out, reports the BBC.

They grabbed the knickers from a pile of washing, doused them in water, and threw them over the fire.

Mrs Marsey, 53, said: "My £4.99 parachute knickers have come in handy for something. We’ve had a good laugh that they were a bit like a fire blanket."

Now that is something a thong couldn’t do! Link

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

Everybody’s thinking the exact same thing.
Even if they’re smoke-stained, you would think she’d wash them before getting her picture taken with ‘em.

Looks to me like they have a “racing stripe”. Yech.

Whoa!…is that a yellow or brown stain I see?

Good grief! Some people have no scruples!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who wondered about that. Even if she didn’t consider it would be on the internet, wouldn’t she want to bleach them before being photographed with them?

Mrs Marsey, 53, said: “My £4.99 parachute knickers have come in handy for something. We’ve had a good laugh that they were a bit like a fire blanket.” She then added: “They are also quite absorbent when it when it comes to my various drippings.”
