It all began in New Guinea in the 1930's when British missionaries would parachute-drop packages of baggy shorts to highland villagers in the hopes that they would wear the shorts instead of stuffing their penises into gourds, which apparently was an affront to God, despite the fact that He made both penises and gourds (although admittedly you can't blame him for combining the two). The highlanders had never seen planes before, so naturally assumed they were gods dispensing largesse. They used the shorts as containers for sago. They continued stuffing their penises into gourds. When they wanted more shorts they would set about building big altars on which they sacrificed pigs to the shorts-dispensing winged sky-gods. Which is a marginally better use of time that writing this desultory drivel...............
