Two Favorite Things To Wear

My two favorite things to wear (Not 1 or 3 but 2) are underwear and a toboggan. Underwear because it keeps my testicles in place and therefore, I do not sit on them. There is no question as you age your testicles have a tendency to hang down just a little farther than they did in your younger days. The difference is just enough that if you are not careful you can sit on them, and it can really hurt. I wear jockey underwear. I just do not trust boxers to do the job. Before I write about why I like a toboggan, it does go by different names such as ski cap, beanie, watch cap, and snookie, just so everyone knows what I am talking about. When I googled this, it claimed that toboggan was more of a southern term for this kind of cap. I don't know. I grew up in Martins Ferry, Ohio and that was only name I ever heard it called until I was an adult in Western Pennsylvania. Anyway, the reason it is one of my favorite things to wear is that it allows me to play golf in some pretty cold temperatures, around 36 degrees and above. When I was a younger golfer and played golf in these cold conditions, I use to secretly make fun of other golfers that wore toboggans. I actually considered this non golf wear. I don't even remember what started me doing it, but as soon as I covered my ears, I could not believe how much warmer I felt. Just like your hanging testicles, as you age, one becomes more sensitive to cold weather, and I really thought my cold weather days of playing golf were coming to an end. My usual threshold for playing golf was 38 degrees Fahrenheit and no wind. As I was getting older, I was moving this up to about 42 degrees. Then when I started wearing a toboggan, I was able to go back to my original conditions of play, because of how much warmer I felt with my ears covered. In fact, I would have to say that the toboggan is my favorite piece of clothing even over the underwear. However, I would always get in the golf cart very carefully.
