Lucky pants with holes (and I'm not talking about the crotchless type either!)?!! - surely not!!

Lucky pants came up in a conversation on MSN one evening with Dundee. This conversation went on for some time and made me laugh a lot. Apparently his 'lucky' pants have holes and his 'unlucky' ones are the newer, more intact ones!! Dundee has to date declined to send a picture of his 'lucky' pants for the blog but we will keep trying. (although I should add that we do not want to post a picture of Dundee wearing his 'Lucky' pants as this may offend if the holes are in inappropriate places).

I decided to do some research and ask David (aka the Pest), Gary and Jim.

David likes his pants to be intact and prefers ones similar to that in the picture above. They are all lucky.

Gary doesn't have lucky/unlucky pants. He apparently wears them for a few days and when the crotch feels a bit nasty he changes them. (I had to delete some words - those of you who know Gary can probably guess what he really said!)

Jim made the following statement ' primark pants are tops...better than george or next.......never buy pants from a poundshop....my lucky ones are the ones that fit and dont squeeze u..(or maybe im drinking to much beer) the ones with holes always feel comfy....i only discard them if others can see the holes.....lol...and i like blue for colour......white can be a bit risky....white is for interviews and visiting parents on a sunday ... oh one more thing price! if you've enough change left from a tenner to get a few pints then yer keks are ok by me....packs of three, big no no no, quality suffers...'

How do these pants become holy in the first place, is it through farting, being ripped off or is it regular washing (which I doubt as these are men after all)?

How would the ladies out there feel if they took a guy home only to discover he was wearing his holy pants?

To be holy, or not to be holy....... that is my question.
