Eddie Cantor in "Strike Me Pink" Part Two
Stripped to his union suit by the trapese artists, Eddie Pink attempts to jump down off the trampoline he had fallen onto. Upon doing so, he lands flat on this back amongst the fake police officers that are really gangsters who had sought Eddie, chasing him all over the park!
The "cops" pick him up and start to lead him off but they are stopped by his sweetie, Joyce Lennox., She is accompanied by real cops who save Eddie and apprehend the villians, leading them off the jail!
Safe! Joyce tells Eddie she's so thankful he has not been harmed or furthered bullied by those thugs dressed as cops!
It's during their heart-filled discussion, that Eddie, at long last, realizes he no longer has any clothes on...that he's standing there in front of his girlfriend in just his long underwear! He looks around and at least discovers his hat. It'll have to do. He plops it on his head. In his mind it helps him look much more dignified! A man in his underwear is not nearly as bad as one missing his hat. Just ask any cowboy!
As Joyce hustles away a little old lady, who would be appalled at seeing her employee in his union suit (she happens to own the amusement park...you'll have to see the movie),
Eddie decides to steal away, out and away to the entrance of the amusement rides,
where the sight of a man in only his union suit underwear shocks the living daylights out of two female ticket sellers. They promptly duck behind their booths to hide from such a shocking development!
Eddie spys, handily, a costume just about this size and runs over to put it on before anyone else is surprised!
Joyce spots Eddie, no longer in his union suit but, rather, dressed now as a Chinaman...
...well, you'll have to find this film on line to see how it all turns out!
Magic union suit powers or not, that guy with the "itch" in rather a strategic place is probably suffering from "bunching boxers or briefs" under his union suit. Now, I am the instigator who started the debate on socks: worn under or tucked over the cuffs of your long johns (the jury is still out on that one). Now, short underwear under your long underwear/ union suits/ thermals/ long johns . . . technically, they are underwear so do we wear a pair underneath them?
ReplyDeleteHere's my thoughts on these debates, Mac. In the past I have worn boxer shorts boxer briefs under my union suits but now prefer to wear my unions with nothing underneath. This facilitates "nature's calls". Personally I find it irritating having to rearrange all the layers after a bathroom break. Sorry to be so blunt but "the facts is facts". Now about the socks, I wear my union suits over my socks. By doing so a much smother fit is possible. No bunching of cuffs under my socks for this fan.
ReplyDeleteThe controversies that never die! LOL.... Chris
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree, those boys are wearing boxers under their union suits. All that jumping around and dancing was sure to have their under underwear bunchin up on them, so pull up back down by using that fireman's hatch was necessary. Great post and great fun getting ready for that ski trip... Cory
