Overheard at the Post Office

This old man was standing in line in front of me at the post office today. He had respiratory problems so sat down in the corner waiting until it was his turn to mail his package. His voice was strong, but his body was feeble.

Finally on his turn, the post office teller asks if there is anything fragile or breakable in the package. He can't hear her so she resorts to, "what's in the package?"

He states, "Underwear."

For the next several minutes I begin hypothesizing on why this would be. Dirty laundry to send to a daughter to wash? New underwear for a family member? A weird fetish with a pen pal? I couldn't figure it out. What do you think?
