humor from the ibob website

Some cyclists are funnier than others, and this guy cracked me up.
------
I realize I'm resurrecting an old thread but the other day I thought of
a product niche that Rivendell could fill. It was actually 3-4 weeks
ago, I was riding into work. I was wearing a pair of ibex wool tights. A
long sleeve wool t-shirt, long sleeve cotton t-shirt and a wool short
sleeve jersey. It was about 32F during the ride (Phoenix). I get into
work, walk down to the main office to get water for my coffee and move
my button to note I'm in, when the secretary asks me what I'm wearing. I
said "wool tights, why do they make my butt look big?". She responds
with a smile "no your front small." taken aback I wail "but it's cold
out, there's shrinkage."

I humbly request that Rivendell develop a lugged Codpiece for such
situations. Continuing one of the naming themes already in use at
Rivendell, I envision three sizes could be offered; little Joe, Adam and
Hoss. I believe this would allow for some exciting advertising synergies
with the corresponding saddle bags (I suspect that "cocky socky" would
be to vulgar although the alliteration of Wooly Warm Willy Wooly has
promise). Some of you may be wondering, why not use a rolled up burrito
wrap? I have bought one of those, not for that use, first of all I'm not
that vain and second the idea of that stiff fabric in that sensitive
area chaffs me. Rivendell please consider my request so that I may once
again walk the halls at work with my head held high.

Thank you.


P.S. 30 Sec commercial spot idea: Camera on kitchen window above sink,
watching a light snow fall through the window we also see a thermomter
and note the 10F temperture. Camera pulls back, we see torso of male
filling thermal coffee device (Rivendell branded) dressed for cold
weather exercise. We hear off camera a womans voice ask coyly, "is that
for me?" Camera pulls back we notice line of sight of woman and
protuberance she's staring at. Male replies "sorry dear it's cold out
there that's my Wooly Warm Willy Wooly". Camera is now watching male
bike away. With voice over "When it's cold outside and you need that
extra bit of warmth and confidence, wear a Wooly Warm Willy Wooly"

A lugged codpiece?!?!?!?! That's the funniest thing I've heard in a very long time!





PS: For the younger folk here:
Definitions of CODPIECE on the Web:

Originally an inverted triangular section of cloth sewn into the hose around a man's groin, the codpiece by the 16th century was padded and boned and became so large that it was often used to carry small weapons, jewels, or food (hence the reference to a man's genetalia as the "family jewels").
