Yes, that's a paradox. They say you should always wear clean underwear in case you get in an accident. This is because when you arrive at the hospital, they'll presumably undress you and notice the state of your knickers, which is a potentially embarrassing situation.
But as George Carlin so astutely pointed out, the definition of an "accident" is that you soil your drawers, so even if they were clean in the morning, they won't be after the fact.

It means that if you don't have clean underwear on, you'll be embarrassed if you are in a situation where people will see them. Few people put on nasty drawers with the intention of showing anybody, but that's EXACTLY when something will happen.

It's what proud Mums and Wives used to say to their young because the thought of going to hospital and the nurses finding you wearing 'grubby' underwear would reflect badly on their 'own' hygiene standards.
(Which used to be high in the 'fifties')
It's just stuck with us now, but is fairly irellivent as you say.

you never know when a bus is going to hit you
i got hit by a bus in 1997, but i was jumping out of the way just in time, and it only clipped my right ankle
the bus driver was very angry that i didn't die
thank god i was wearing clean underwear
i never waited for that bus again!
