Panties Mystery: Thousands of Underwear Strewn Across Ohio Town
EmailThe people of Fairfield, Ohio, are still picking women’s panties out of tree branches and other hard to reach areas.
The town woke up Wednesday to find it littered with thousands of women’s panties.
“We have over 1,600 pair of both new and used women’s underwear,” said Fairfield County Sheriff Dave Phalen. “They haven’t got them all gathered up because some of them are in areas where it would be difficult to get to.”
The underwear of a variety of colors and patterns were found mainly in a wooded area in Berne Township, but were also strewn in trees and fences and along roads. So far the investigation into the panties puzzle has turned up no leads, Phalen said.
“There’s a combination of new and used underwear which could be some person that has some sort of fetish, that has had them for several years,” Phalen said. “I don’t know how you could accumulate that volume of underwear.”
Phalen said that there had been no reports of recent lingerie theft. He hasn’t ruled out that this could all be a prank.
“It could be kids from college somewhere. It really is kind of strange,” Phalen said.
If the person or people responsible for the underwear bomb are found, they could face charges for littering, the sheriff said.

Great day in thn’ morniin’. I would guess that my ex-wife was flinging them into the air. She has been a resident of Canal Windchester but now has moved back to St. Louis. Any trees in St. Louis get decorated with panties, I will certainly know whom to suspect.

I really wish the editors did a better job with fact checking….The story didn’t happen in Fairfield, Ohio; Fairfield COUNTY is in the southeast part of the state whereas Fairfield (the town) is NOT!

Could be “Panties from Heaven” by Weird Al Yankovic.

Anyone heard of the “Mail A Million Panties to John Boehner for Women’s Reproductive Rights”??? And guess what area Boner “represents”? Think maybe he got the message–and didn’t LIKE the message?
