Going Commando

Did you know that the term, "going commando" in reference to the absence of underwear, originated in 1940 during World War II? British commando Nigel Cawthorne was dropped behind enemy lines late one night, in May of 1940; to locate and aid the escape of a group of downed British RAF pilots. Unfortunately for Cawthorne, his kit bag broke free during the drop, scattering his gear and weapons, irretrievably, across the countryside. Alone and unarmed, Nigel crept along until he came upon 2 unsuspecting German officers, out for an evening stroll. Thinking quickly, he devised a plan on-the-spot, to take out the Germans and steal one of their uniforms, so he could move about more freely. He incapacitated the first officer swiftly, but while trying to subdue the second, a struggle ensued. Being without weapon, the only thing Nigel could think to do, was rip the waistband from his own underwear to strangle the officer. Cawthorne then stashed the Germans, taking one of the uniforms, but ditching his own unwearable underwear in the process. He went on to complete the mission, locating and smuggling out the stranded pilots, free-balling the whole way. During the mission debrief upon his return to England, the story of the 2 officers and weaponized undergarments was retold. The story spread, as they often do, and from then on, not wearing underwear came to be known as "going commando". Pretty freaking unbelievable, huh? That's because it's not true, I just made it up. It'd be pretty cool, though.

I'm bored...
