[More than 8,000 pair of underwear are headed to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, thanks to the Dave Ryan In the Morning Show on Minneapolis, Minn., radio station KDWB. The drive was coordinated through WMSI-102.9 (Miss 103) in Jackson.] We got them in all shapes and sizes, ... Boxers, briefs, bikinis, thongs.
