SLOB!

Seriously, I have heard some guys say they can get extra use out of a pair of shorts if they flip them. Good as freshly washed!

3. Why turn them inside out?
They are good for at least a month, then give em a good rinse.

8. Eventually you have them on both sides.
It saves on the laundry bill.

13. how so?
As soon as you turn them inside out, whatever was on the inside that you no longer want next to your skin is now on the outside contaminating your jeans. If you don't wash your jeans, the next clean pair of underpants you put on will get dirty on the outside from contact with your jeans so when you turn them inside out you will be delivering well-percolated bacteria right back to your ass. In one day, in fact, you get BOTH sides of the boxers dirty. Logically it would mean more laundry if you actually cared about cleanliness. And I guess if you are rotating inside and outside of underwear, umm, probably not the case.

7. Don't knock it!
Those guys are very environmentally conscious and want to save money and energy.

On the other hand, I doubt if they have many close friends. . .

10. Oh, you're too good for the simple "sniff" test?
I use the smell test on a regular basis as a wardrobe tool. Remember, clean clothes are in the dryer, dirty clothes on the floor, marginal clothes are hung from something in the bedroom..............
