Letter Transcript
Dear Holeproof Underpants,
I am writing to inform you that unfortunately your underpants are not, in fact, hole-proof. I was recently mildly disappointed to discover that my new pair of Holeproof underpants had developed a small and then increasingly more significant hole next to the crotch - a rather compromising place to develop a hole of such lively proportions.
Admittedly, on my part, the development of the Holeproof hole happened to coincide with some light jogging. However, the Holeproof socks (perhaps a different department?) were enthusiastically and perhaps metaphorically advertised on the feet of a gentleman running long coarse highways in the rugged Australian countryside. It is safe to say that, in light of this wonderful, almost utopian advertisement, I optimistically assumed my new Holeproof undertrousers were up to the task.
Does Holeproof offer a range of high-performance underpants that I might wear when lightly jogging? I quite like the Holeproof brand and would rather stick with it for a while yet. Might it be possible for you to replace my holy underpants?
Thank you for your time,
Christopher L. H. Cooper

About This Correspondence
Holeproof underpants are, in fact, not hole-proof. I made this discovery after a stint of light jogging, which had rent my undies asunder (at the crotch). This was an instance of profound universal injustice that could not be tolerated.
