The underwear bit reminded me of this scene from Woody Allen's Bananas...

Esposito ("El Presidente"): "From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check."

That explains why you never see superheroes working side-jobs as cabbies.

Plot:

Fielding Mellish (Woody Allen) is a neurotic blue collar man who tries to impress social activist Nancy (Louise Lasser). Trying to get in touch with the San Marcos revolution, he visits attempting to show his concern for the native people. However, nearly killed by the local caudillo, only to be saved by the revolutionaries, he is then indebted to help them. Mellish clumsily learns how to be a revolutionary, and then in an effort to feed the troops goes to a restaurant and in typical New Yorker fashion asks for thousands of deli sandwiches (including one special order), plus wheelbarrows of coleslaw on the side.

When the revolution is successful, the Castro-style leader goes mad (declaring at one point that all underwear be worn on the outside), forcing the rebels to place Mellish as their President. When traveling back to the U.S. to obtain financial aid, he reunites with his activist ex-girlfriend and is exposed.

Is a turban considered underwear? If you get in a NYC cab on a hot day, the smell emminating from them usually has the odor of week long worn underpants.

Methinks there is a female lingerie limo service at the root of this.

Many years ago, my band had a house gig way out in the sticks. We declared every Wednesday to be “Underwear On The Outside” day. Almost doubled the Wednesday take at the till! Was a lot of fun to boot!
