there’s a word for this

Queen Elizabeth’s dirty, old undies will have a new home … after a mystery panty raider snatched ‘em up at an Internet auction for $18k.

The knickers had been placed on eBay by the estate of the late “Baron” Joseph de Bicske Dobronyi … who had claimed he came into possession of the undergarments after they were left on a private plane when the Queen visited Chile in 1968.

But after a cyber auction consisting of 18 total bids, one lucky mystery buyer emerged…

    I take it the Baron was a bit of a kinkster, eh? He kept the knickers for over 40 years.

    The buyer will demand a DNA test of course.

    HRH’s comment was unmentionable.

    I’m starting to experience a type of buyer’s remorse.

    These better be legit for 180 Benjamins.

    I have a feeling the buyer won’t like the final results of the DNA test.

    There’s a website where you can buy dirty panties, but I don’t think they’re that pricey.

    “There’s a website where you can buy dirty panties”

    I wonder what the break-even point is between selling your dirty underwear on-line, and investing your own time and money in a washing machine.

    Better yet, can I convert this idea into an IPO?

    Proving once again that some people have more money than is good for them.

    Per cubic volume, wouldn`t Rosanne`s skivvies be the best, dollar per dollar?

    I do not want to know how The Queen came to be separated from her panties!

    (well, not much, anyway)

    If they mystery buyer runs them up a flagpole, is it mandatory for all British citizens to salute?

    Sondra you didn’t did you? Ya know for your collection? Just because she likes Corgis? I suppose you could put a clothes line between the porch posts and to hang( display ) her undies. ‘course being the Queen of your domain you could hang your own. Thong.

    #14, Col. Jerry, USMC: One could use them for sleeping bags or one-man tents if one is into that kind of thing.

    Claire, behind all that cute and smarts you have a cruel streak.
