Free used underwear on Irving Street!

Put them on

I spotted this yesterday afternoon on Irving Street between 13th and 14th: it's a pair of boxers laying on the sidewalk, and some jokester added a sign reading "PUT THEM ON."

It raises a good point: why are there random pairs of underwear on the sidewalk? The most innocuous reason would be that it fell out of someone's hamper on the way to (or hopefully from) the laundromat. Of course, there are many worse possible reasons.
