Object Description
Item is a pair of men's underwear with written text and stamps printed on it, created by Vincent Trasov as part of his underwear research project in 1971. Front of underwear is rubber stamped: "Talking Dirty", back of underwear reads in Trasov's handwritten script: "Episode two in the continuing story of the fugitive bum by AC McWhortle This cheeko came to know the first gripping thrill of obsassion and lassie's doggie brain was stamped assuredly with the scent of the bum. While crackoff and the analyst were busy making plasster casts the man and his faithful dog wasted no time. Nearby in the men's lavatory Lassie had sniffed out a pair of boxer shorts rumpled and forgotten in a dirty corner. Jumpin sassafrass Lassie said cheeko. What have got here as cheeko carefully smoothed his find he caught his breath at the breathtaking scene of Niagara Falls that was revealed on the rear of the precious little shorts. And sure enough, there in a bush at the foot of the falls was a round perfect hole, just the shape, just the size of that memorable mole. Without the shadow of a doubt these were the boxer shorts of the bum. And cheeko with tears in his eyes pressed them gently and lovingly to his cheek before stowing them carefully away in his rear pocket. Bum referrals at least 20 ever growing total - 52; please do not wash."
