"Kids today are not wearing jockstraps"

This article in Slate is the perfect anecdote for a slow day in the office. So what do "jockstraps" do anyway, you ask? Answer:

"They kind of keep the genitalia from flopping around, is the best I could tell you," says Dr. William O. Roberts.

Aren't you glad you asked! Now go read the article if you want to find out why no one is wearing them anymore.
