Interesting stats. I guess the cold has something to do
with it. The brown stain in the back and the yellow
one in the front must confer a little more insulation to
ward off the cold. Also, the cold will keep the flies
from swarming around.

7 per cent of Norwegians wear same undies for a week
Sydney Morning Herald ^ | July 11 2003


Seven per cent of Norwegian men and six per cent of women wear the same pair
of undies for at least a whole week before changing to a fresh pair,
according to a new poll.


Norwegians with a high level of education change their underwear less often
than those with a lower level of schooling, the survey of 1000 Norwegians,
conducted by polling institute ACNielsen, showed.


However, 65 per cent of those questioned say they pull on a fresh pair once
a day, while 4 per cent say they change twice a day.


Those least likely to change their knickers are in the 41 to 50 age range,
while 18-to-30 year-olds are the most fastidious, with 73 per cent who
change daily.


Single men are also more likely to put on clean skivvies than those in a
relationship.


Eleven per cent of Norwegians change their underwear two to three times a
week and 18 per cent do so four to six times a week.
