Getting run over.
Some people say that you should wear clean underwear just in case you're run over.

Bollocks. If you're run over and lose consciousness, the chances are that you'll lose control of yourself anyway. Your dignity is one of the first things to go.

However, you ought to make sure that you're carrying a copy of Homer or Proust or something. That way, the medics'll be impressed by your intellectual acumen.

Or wear a rolex
And lots of expensive accessories to impress them.

I don't have any of Homer's books...

But I do have a Lovely T-Shirt featuring him and the other Simpsons...

What? - Oh I know it's obvious...but I'm bored.

As for Proust...wasn't he a racing driver?

I agree
When you get to hospital, you'll likely have all your clothes cut off, so there's no point in wearing good underwear in bus-infested areas, as it would be damaged beyond repair were the worst to happen.

That's my justification for wearing ancient boxers most of the time.

I was run over
I can't remember which pants I was wearing... but I'm pretty sure I didn't lose control of myself.

Except for the screaming I was told I did but have no recollection of.

Better tip yet - don't get run over. It hurts!
