Pantyhose Garment with Spare Leg
Patent No. 5,713,081, issued Feb 3, 1998:A hosiery item including a panty member having three absorbent crotch members provided therein, each absorbent crotch member having a pocket formed therein; and three leg portions secured to the panty member in a manner such that an absorbent crotch member is positioned between any two leg portions, each leg portion having a leg insertion opening in connection with an interior of the panty member.
In use the wearer inserts her legs into two of the leg openings in the conventional fashion of donning a pair of pantyhose. The remaining unused leg portion is then gathered and the toe end tucked into the pocket of one of the absorbent crotch members. If a run or hole develops in one of the leg portions being worn, the leg of the wearer can be easily and rapidly removed from the damaged leg portion and placed into the undamaged spare leg portion. The damaged leg portion is then gathered, folded and tucked into a pocket of one of the absorbent crotch members as wearer to select and use any two of the three leg portions for use.

Now that's the way to get a leg up on the competition.

A lady wearing this thing, with one leg tucked into a crotch, would look like a transvestite.
"Is that a bulge in your pants? Are you- are you really a guy?"
"No, no. It's just the third leg of my pantyhose, tucked between my legs."

Apparently this "inventor" never considered the use of thigh-high's.
I'm dissapointed in you gentlemen, I had expected at least one "third leg" joke by now. 😉

I'd hate to meet the woman who fills those out.

Maybe it's to absorb the foot sweat from the third, rolled up discarded leg.
I ask, why stop at 3? Why not 4...or 5? How about a skirt made up entirely of 100's of pantyhose legs? Get a run...just grab any other leg.

Can also double as a disguise for siamese triplet bank robbers.
@ Jules, the third leg joke just seemed too easy.

Jules, real men would be more interested int the 3 absorbent crotch areas than legs.
Anyhow, I vote we boycott this product as the ad person is a sexist pig! S/He writes inserts her legs. Why can we guys wear them too? Like KingMonkey pointed out we can roll up the unused leg to create a bit of eye-candy for you ladies.

@ Beckers, do you (or anyone else) remember the first "Tales of the City", where Mona gets chastised for saying the word 'crotch' in her ad? Then she runs around yelling 'crotch, crotch, crotch, crotch, crotch!' and quits the ad agency.
There's your casual conversation comment.
Please tell me someone else remembers this.

Absorbent Crotch Members sounds like the name of a punk band. Maybe they'll open for The Circle Jerks!
