my undershirts are the ones with the crusty pit stains

I haven’t had a lot of warm and fuzzy moments during the NCAA tournament this year.  Partially because this is my worst bracket ever, and partially because there have been entire blocks of unintertaining games.  But one aspect of watching that has been beneficial is the video above.  Not only do I find it hilarious, but it sheds light on one of life’s great struggles.

For many years, I have been a heavy armpit sweater.  If I even think about vigorous activity, my underarms turn into a bog of perspiration.  From my high school years, I have relied on undershirts to absorb the brunt of the damage.  Heavy duty anti-persperants have also been employed to keep the pits as dry as possible.  It seems as though completely defeating my massive sweat glands is out of the question.  You can’t stop them.  You can only hope to contain them.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to try any of the Axe products.  While this commercial is sweet, funny and monogamous, most of them are far from.  The sports typically follow a story line where some dude uses an Axe product and as a result some type of orgy breaks out around him.  On the one hand, I refuse to use the products on that alone.  But I’m also a little scared to use them, because if the non-sweat related advertised results actually come to fruition I’d have a hard time keeping my marriage in tact.

  1. Your dad has struggled for years trying to find the answer to eliminating the arm pit crusties on tees. I think it must have something to do with the tight curl of the arm pit hairs. If you ever come up with the answer to solve the crusties, I’m sure you will make millions.

  2. did you konw that those true beauty commercials that Dove puts out and the Axe orgy commercials are done by the same company? realized that this afternoon. an interesting juxtaposition, indeed.
