Results: Always Wear Clean Underwear...You Never Know If You're Going To Be In An Accident

When I was a young girl, my mom would say things to me that seemed strange, but all my friends were also told similar things by their moms. Have you ever heard the saying "Always wear clean underwear. You never know when you're going to be in an accident"?
My mother always told me that too!
