Big Panties Can Save Lives

Ladies, you know those giant panties that you reserve for a special time of the month? Guys you know the ones, that when your ladyfriend is comfortable enough to wear these in front of you it means that she is at the point where she will let her body hair grow in and wear sweats all day.

Well granny panties aren't all bad. They even save lives.

Jenny Marsey's size 18-20 cotton briefs were used to put out a frying pan fire, which started when an extractor fan fell on the cooker while her son and nephew were frying some bread at the house in Hartlepool.

Her son John, 18, at first made the blaze worse by throwing water over the flames, but her nephew, Darren Lines, saved the day by grabbing his aunt's knickers from the washing pile and using them like a fire blanket.
