Send Pantyhose?

WHEN OUR SON was in Marine boot camp at Parris Island, S.C., we received this cryptic note from him: "Dear Mom and Dad No time to write. Please send a few things I need alarm clock, nail clippers, panty hose. It's cold down here. Love, Rob." I agonized over what size panty hose a man six feet tall, with a 30-inch waist, would wear. What style? What color? Support? Sheer? Control top? Does 'One Size Fits All' really fit all? I decided on queen size, opaque, in suntan, with a reinforced toe. Hoping they would keep our handsome Marine warm, I mailed the package. It wasn't until Rob came home for Christmas that the mystery was finally solved. "How did those panty hose work out?" was one of the first questions I asked. "Thanks, Mom, they were great! They're the best thing for putting a super shine on my boots."
