The 2009 “underpants bomb” plot failed because the terrorist had been wearing his explosive-laden undergarments for more than two weeks and soiled the explosives, a senior US official said.

The more I hear about these knuckleheards, the more I am convinced that ‘Four Lions’ wasn’t a fiction after all, more a well-observed documentary about our dimmest citizens.
Little Nell dies again.
And still the bodies pile up in Iraq and Afghanistan. Are you proud, Blair and Bush? Some fucking Christians, eh?
I guess next time I have to sit next to someone on a plane who hasn’t changed their underwear for two weeks I will breathe a little easier.
Even without a 2 week old pair of underpants a number of things are perhaps likely to contribute to the dirty pants of some (more strict) Muslims.
For the right-handed majority of people being required to use your less dextrous left hand to clean your arse crack.
Using water rather than toilet paper.
Egad! Foiled by poo!
“Using water rather than toilet paper.”
It’s all part of a conspiracy by Big Bidet !
Villeroy & Boch, Armitage Shanks… we are watching you.
Just watch Carry on at your Convenience to see how these evil firms have undrmined Western Civilisation.
I’ve heard about these ‘dirty bombs’, but I didn’t think this what what they meant…
Please can we stop this personalisation of Blair being responsible for the Iraq war? I loathe him as much as the next man, but remember that over 80% of the Labour Party voted for it. It is their war as much as Blair’s.
Anyway, they were trying to kill us before Iraq, before Afghanistan. These wars are excuses, not reasons. Until we are all Muslims or entirely subject to them, these fanatics will continue to attack us.
Yeah, right…
“Using water rather than toilet paper.”
It’s a cultural thing. Here, using the CyberTechnoBog[TM], one press of the button gives you a squirt to wash your arse. Bog roll is then used to dry the affected part. There’s a “Muff Button” for the ladeez too.
I like to travel. The one thing I really miss when away from Japan is the convenience of being able to wash my arse after enjoying a shit.
I’m sure a high tech Japanese bog is a pleasure to use, I’ve never had the experience.
And I know I enjoy a good scrub at the nether regions while perched on a bidet.
But I have serious doubts that a cursory splash of a few drops of water from a bilharzia infested jug of water and a poke around with my left hand is a hygienic way for me to dislodge the Klingons, despite what the good prophet might have commanded.

The UK. A country thinks a bidet’s for washing your feet.
Point taken BraveFart. My six months in North Africa was “sub-optimal” when it came to personal cleanliness. I’m left handed, which caused some (not insoluble) difficulties too.

“Japan/The UK. A country thinks a bidet’s for washing your feet.”
Ha Ha, when I sold the house in Austria, the Italian lady buyer was delighted that we had a bidet. I told her that i used it to wash my feet !
Some may consider it a sinister plot…
The Koranic requirement to wash after evacuating makes every riverbank in the Middle East except Israel disgustingly unpicnicable as well as spreading waterborne disease.
All good for an evil chuckle or two, but now the buggers know how to make their underwear go bang with more certainty.
Long ago, I knew a chap whose nickname was Thunderpants…
I note that he was Nigerian. I can confirm that not all Nigerians refrain from washing their underpants: my old driver used to wash his, and hang them on the headrest of my car to dry.
Should have listened to his Mother, always change into clean underwear before going into action. But TWO weeks! I mean, his trollies should BEND you know!
1) They don’t wash.
2) They have beards.
3) They want to die in battle.
They are Klingons.
