1964

Lyndon Johnson orders custom pants from Haggar, in an overly descriptive conversation where he demands a little more crotch area, you know, "down where your nuts hung." He also says "bunghole."

"Dammit Joe Haggar, these pleated khakis are riding up the most important bunghole on Earth! If we can get a man on the moon, by God we ought to be able to break some fabric up and give my nuts some breathing room!"

-Lyndon Baines Johnson

He did not actually say that, but it's not far off.

Check out the transcribed phone conversation though, it's interesting to hear presidents do what every normal American does order pants:





This site has archived a lot of other presidential conversations, most of them dealing with issues infinitely more important than pants, so check those too. It's pretty interesting stuff.
