Quote of the Day

Stations which rely on public funding often give gifts to donors to get them to give money. Unfortunately, it is a recession which means gifts are stingy. Thus, instead of something cool, you get underpants. For a squirrel.

Twice a year before its pledge drive starts, local public-radio station KRCC likes to offer members a thank-you gift for donating early.

Sometimes it’s symphony tickets. Sometimes it’s museum passes. This time, it is squirrel underpants.

Seriously.

“They are really tiny cotton underwear,” said KRCC general manager Delaney Utterback.

The 100-percent cotton tighty-whiteys have a 3-inch waist and are machine-washable.

They are sold by Seattle-based oddity peddler Archee McFee, purveyor of the inflatable fruitcake and unisex prosthetic chest hair.

The company markets the knickers as “The underpants squirrels prefer!”
