Over at Mind Hacks, they’ve dug up an image of what I’ve dubbed the Anti-Wank Device. This mini suit of armor was designed to keep men and boys from spanking the old monkey, ya know, to prevent insanity and stuff. But of course.
This image begs so many questions. Is that enough ventilation for the boys? Does it remind anyone else of a cartoon character (one that I cannot for the life of me remember in detail … some kinda robot I think)? What the hell happened if a guy got a stiffy with that thing on? Last but not least … um, chaffing?
Who says life in the 21st century is more complicated?

Could you be thinking of Dumbo? Or maybe a very sad tea pot from Beauty and the Beast.
No, it was metal and a boy … there was an oil funnel or a drip pan involved I believe. Think, think!
Wait … Dumbo was a boy, and it does look a little Dumbo-esque. No, this guy was metal, I’m sure of it.
Dude…that is totally the tin man’s cod piece. You got to keep them flying monkeys out of yo junk, man.
I’m not a dude, and all I can think it ow, ow, OW. How did they… just can’t imagine…holy cow. People ARE nuts (um, please excuse the pun).
