Good to know, Joan.  Thanks!

But now I'm embarrassed.  I'm afraid I don't have ready access to DARE
(at least not until this evening).  Can you clue me in as to what DARE
says about "tee-whitie"?  (And why am I now suddenly thinking about
tighty-whities?)

Thanks also go to Jon, Gerald, Dan, and Stephen* for their SWAGs, "to
your tastes," Spanish "ands", and tittles and yods on the subject.

* for Stephen's and my sake, I was hoping this was going to turn out
to be "ten yards total" or something.
