Those shorts are a true example of science fiction.  They aren't really
made for human beings.  Look closely at the description.  There's no
fly.  What's more the XXL model fits a 40 inch waist.  What strange,
skinny creatures do these shorts fit?  I imagine they're used chiefly in
the capitol and the White House.  Those are, after all, no fly zones.
