It pays to always wear clean underwear in public, especially when working under your vehicle.

One couple drove their car to the shopping mall, only to have it break down in the car park.

The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed it.

The wife returned later to see a small group of people surrounding the car, watching. She looked closer and saw a pair of hairy legs protruding from under the chassis.

Unfortunately, although the man was wearing shorts, hed forgotten his undies, and some of his, ahem, private bits were on show.

Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand inside his shorts, and tucked everything away out of sight.

When she got back up she looked straight into the eyes of her husband, who was standing in the crowd watching.

While the car was soon on the road the roadside mechanic ended up in the emergency ward, getting stitches in his forehead.
